3. LeadBooksFound in Jordan
In 2008, 70 books--or codices--were uncovered in a remote cave in Jordan. The pages are crafted of lead and appear to be almost unreadable, bound together on rings. To an outside observer, they may not look like much, but this was a find that could change the way ancient Christianity is studied and maybe even how we perceive Jesus Christ himself. Through rigorous testing, all 70 books were determined to be genuine and date to the first century AD, making them 2,000 years old. The books reference the apostles John, Peter, and James as well as the earliest mentions of Jesus Christ--even including a portrait of him. The writings in the codices suggest that Jesus was not beginning a new religion; rather, he was continuing a thousand-year-old religion begun during the time of King David, a religion that worshipped a God who was both male and female. One of the book has seven seals, matching the description of a codex mentioned in the Book of Revelation. These are the earliest known Hebrew-Christian documents, which means they could provide valuable information for those practicing Christianity, Islam, or Judaism.
2. The Library of Ashurbanipal
It is said that this was the library which inspired Alexander the Great to build the great library of Alexandria, all of which has been lost. This library, however, sometimes called “the first library” or “the oldest library” in the world, still exists and 30,000 tablets of literature, medical texts, and more have been recovered from its shelves. The library dates to the 7th century BC and is today located in northern Iraq, near Mosul. During its time, it would have been located in the ancient city of Nineveh, the capital of Assyria in Mesopotamia. Ashurbanipal was motivated to create the library because his childhood education allowed him to learn to read and write, as he was not originally expected to take the throne. During his reign, Mesopotamia expanded to include Egypt, Babylon, Persia and Syria. For this reason, the texts included in the library are of incredible significance to understanding the history of these places. Finally, among the tablets found in the library, is one that nearly everyone is familiar with: The Epic of Gilgamesh, which is considered one of the earliest great pieces of literature.
1. Gobekli Tepe (teep)
The discovery of this temple in modern-day Turkey is an incredible archaeological find that could force scientists to rethink the timeline of human civilization as we know it. The temple has been carbon-dated to be around 11,000 years old, having been constructed around 9600 BC. Civilizations as we know them, with beginnings in Egypt and Mesopotamia, did not begin until around 3000 BC, about 5000 years ago. But this temple was clearly built with care and a ton of hard work, supposedly with the intention of making it a place of worship. The temple consists of two 10-foot pillars in its center, decorated with carvings of animals and more identifiable icons. Bones at the temple suggest there were once sacrifices here. The temple then goes outward in rings, with more pillars inside each ring. The building of this temple would have predated writing, pottery-making, metalworking, and according to previous estimates, organized worship. The mystery of the site continues as crude Neolithic tools were found, which were made of flint. But how were such tools used to carve pillars that weigh around 40-60 tons? And how did they move these pillars to the site of the temple? The questions continue, but one thing is certain: The discovery of this temple could lead to incredible answers about the evolution of society.

From the discovery of Egypt’s youngest mummies to the unearthing of a medieval artifact in a parking lot, archaeologists are discovering new and exciting things that give us more info about the way our ancestors lived. Join me as I tell you about buried treasure, ancient evidence of advanced societies, and even a real life artifact that could have inspired The Lord of the Rings. These are, The most Amazing Recent Archaeological discoveries!

9 Perfectly PreservedSkeletons
In the center of the Cambridge University campus, an ancient burial site was unearthed that dates back to between 1290 and 1538. So far, diggers have found 25 perfectly intact skeletons. Other skeletons were chopped in half by 20th-century foundations being placed into the earth. Archaeologists expect to find many more remains in the area—possibly 40 or more skeletons total.
8 UntouchedRoyalPeruvian Tomb
A tomb created around 1,200 years ago has been unearthed and revealed the graves of three queens. These queens were buried alongside gold and silver riches and what seem to be human sacrifices. The area around the tomb has been looted and tampered with many times over the years, but the tomb remains completely untouched. It was protected by 30 tons of loose stones. The human sacrifices were found in sitting positions in neat rows, and the queens were buried in separate small chambers surrounded by gold trinkets and tools. More than a thousand separate items have been uncovered from the site since its discovery.
7 Noah’s ArkMosaic
In 2016, a mosaic that has imagery depicting the story of Noah’s ark was discovered inside of an ancient synagogue at the site of Huqoq (hoocoke) in Israel. The mosaic illustrates, of course, the ark, and includes pairs of lions, bears, and leopards with other animals. It even shows the story of the parting Red Sea complete with ancient Egyptian soldiers who were surrounded by overturned chariots and being attacked by giant fish.
6 JesusTombs
Israel’s antiquities authorities recently allowed reporters into its vast storerooms to show the world some of the discoveries they have made that give us some insight into what it was like to live in during the Biblical era. These two ossuaries have inscriptions that seem to spell out the word “Jesus”. Before anyone gets too excited, it’s likely not the bones of the Jesus you are thinking about, as the name was very common thousands of years ago. Scientists are still on the lookout for more evidence as to what he actually looked like.
5 MedievalWall In Parking Lot
When the University of Leicester (lesta) set out to build a new student accommodation block in early 2017, they luckily called archaeological diggers instead of construction workers. These diggers uncovered an entire medieval wall hidden underneath the parking lot and future construction site in Coventry. Experts say that the wall was more likely used for commercial purposes rather than for defense. Now, Richard Buckley who is one of the co-directors of the University of Leicester (lesta) Archaeological Services says they may move the foundations of the new building to better preserve the wall.
4 Watlington Hoard
The Watlington Hoard is now being kept at Oxford University’s Ashmolean Museum. This hoard was some bonafide, real life buried treasure and it cost Oxford University 1.35 Million pounds to purchase ownership. The story goes that Alfred the GreatKing of Wessex buried all of his treasure sometime between 871 and 899 AD to hide them from Viking raids. The hoard includes 15 ingots, 7 pieces of jewelry, a scrap of gold, and 186 including a rare penny minted with the image of Two emperors.
3 The One Ring
Some say that this ancient Roman ring currently on display in a Tudor mansion in England could have been what inspired J.R.R. Tolkien’s fantasy Lord of the Rings. Tolkien was a professor of Anglo Saxon history and could have well known about this ancient artifact. The ring was originally unearthed by a farmer and then passed on to the Tudor family for money, perhaps inspiring a ring that was passed down through history ala the Ring.
2 PompeiiArtifacts
At this point, we’re all familiar with the catastrophe of Pompeii, when a giant volcanic eruption laid waste to an entire city and created hard ash casts of everyone and everything in its past. The newest shocking specimens went on display at The British Museum, including the cast of a child in pugilist’s position as well as a carbonised baby’s cradle that looks shockingly similar to the cradles we use today.

7: Mummified Moa Remains
In 1986, a team of archeologists were investigating the insides of a large cave system underneath Mount Owen in New Zealand. With very little visibility in the vast network of tunnels, they stumbled across a bizarre object that left them wondering whether their eyes were playing tricks on them. In front of them lay a large dinosaur-like claw, with intact flesh and scaly skin. Curious, the team took it back with them for analysis. The results could not have been more astounding - the mysterious claw belonged to a 3300 year old prehistoric bird known as the upland moa. For some reason the mummified claw had been preserved so well, it appeared as if the creature had only recently died. Otherwise known by its scientific name Megalapteryx didinus, the upland moa was a large flightless bird that reached up to 12 feet in height, and weighed over 500 pounds. Moa birds were once the dominant animals in New Zealand's forest ecosystems, until the arrival of the Maori people who hunted them down to extinction. Scientists have suggested that modern day revival of the species is a viable idea, as their remains contained extractable DNA that could be introduced into chicken embryos. Interest in the subject has been going on for years, and with the advancements in biology and genetics, we may one day get to see a live running moa.
3: The AlienSkulls of Mexico
Residents of the small Mexican village of Onavas stumbled upon a shocking discovery while building an irrigation canal. What they found was an ancient burial site, referred to as El Cementerio, containing 25 skeletal remains. The most shocking part was that 13 of the skeletons had abnormally long skulls, unlike any known species on our planet. Five were found with mutilated teeth. The freakish discovery led to early speculations that the bodies were those of extraterrestrial beings, similar to the ones seen in Ridley Scott's popular Alien film series. However, researchers were quick to suggest that the skulls were the result of intentional cranial reshaping. Several ancient Central American cultures had a tradition of forcing their heads into strange shapes. This was done by placing enormous pressure on their skulls since early childhood, for example by using tightly bound cloths or wooden boards
2: The Graveyard of GiantWombats
Wombats might be seen as cute and comical animals, but you might think differently if you come across one that's rhino-sized. In 2012, scientists in Australia unveiled the largest graveyard ever found of enormous ancient mega-wombats called diprotodon. There were around 50 diprotodon remains found, estimated to have weighed an average 2.8 tons each, making them the largest known marsupials to roam the planet. One of the largest and most well preserved specimens was named "Kenny", with a massive 28-inch long jawbone. The creatures are described as pidgeon-toed, and had big kangaroo-like pouches large enough to fit an adult human. The grave is part of a larger fossil deposit in the remote outback of Australia'sQueensland state. It is described as a goldmine
1: Giant HumansGenesis chapter 6 tells us, "There were giants in the earth in those days, and afterwards". This verse refers to the Nephilim, a giant race of men who according to the bible, were perished by the Great Flood. Scriptural writings of other religions also include similar tales of giant people who once walked the Earth. Enthusiastic believers advocate that these stories are true, and in recent years many stories of archeological findings of giant men have appeared on the internet. The most famous of these was the story about a giant human skeleton uncovered in the desert during gas exploration in Saudi Arabia. Pictures were included, linked with the Islamic story of the Prophet Hud and the powerful giant tribe of Ad. Similar pictures and stories of biblical giants can be found, such as the alleged discovery of giants by archeologists in Greece. However, none of these claims have been proven, and the scientific community regards them as mere hoax stories accompanied with photo-shopped images. There are however, some real findings of ancient giants, although nowhere as dramatic as the aforementioned stories. In 1890, French anthropologist Georges Vacher de Lapouge found three bone fragments of a human leg in France. The height of the individual - popularly referred to as the "Giant of Castelnau" - is estimated to have been around 3.5 meters (11 ft 6 in). Studies showed that those bones dated back to the Neolithic period, and according to experts either represented a "very tall race" or were the result of "morbid growth."

This could be the most important discovery of the 21st Century. Researchers have recently confirmed that they have evidence that an ancient race of aliens may have lived on Earth, this constitutes an incredible discovery. A discovery that may cause us to alter our history books forever.
Archaeologists are stunned by this latest news. A new species has been discovered. New DNA and carbon dating tests on one of several strange creatures discovered in Nazca, Peru, reveal she could be 1,800 years old and was 98.5 per cent primate - similar to humans - and 1.5% unknown.

From the possible discovery of the brother of jesus, to a discovery proving the existence of a once lost race here are 6 Archaeological Finds that Prove the Bible is True
6. CrucifiedBurial
Crucifixion is the type of execution used to end the life of Jesus Christ. Typically, large nails were hammered through the hands and feet of the offender to affix them to a wooden cross. According to the Bible, Jesus had amassed a group of followers and openly declared himself the son of God. This ran afoul the beliefs of the monarchy at the time who sentenced him to death. The crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus Christ is a point of contention among believers and skeptics. One of the biggest arguments against the storied death of Jesus is that crucifixion was only reserved for the foulest repeat criminals, typically those who engaged in violent crimes or showed no signs of being saved. These men would have been denied a proper burial. It is said that after Jesus’s death, he was placed in a tomb from which he was resurrected before returning to Heaven. If history was to be believed, he would have never even been placed in a tomb because crucified men were not permitted honorable burials.
5. The Pool of Siloam
In the Book of John, many miracles performed by Jesus are described. In chapter nine, Jesus meets a blind man, who he heals by spitting into the dirt and using the mud to cover his eyes. He then tells the man to go to the Pool of Siloam and rinse the mud off then go home. The man does so and his vision is restored fully. For centuries, non-believers and believers alike were puzzled by there being no known location where the Pool of Siloam could have once been.
4. James, Brother of Jesus
For five years, a forgery trial rocked the archaeological community. In 2002, archaeologists uncovered a burial box, also known as an ossuary, that bore the inscription, “James, son of Joseph, brother of Jesus”. An uproar raced across the Christian community. Had they discovered the bones of Jesus Christ’s martyred brother? The answer is a bit unsatisfying: they do not know. The authenticity of the inscription has been called into question several times, culminating in a forgery trial in which the dealer who had possession of the box was found not guilty of forgery.
3. A Merciful King
The books of Ezra and 2 Corinthians speak of Cyrus the Great of Persia conquering Babylon in a massive military movement then allowing the exiled Jews to regain entry into Israel in a sudden act of kindness that was completely out of character for a ruler at the time. Many claim that the Old Testament story was nothing more than a work of fiction, as no proof of Cyrus’s odd change of heart existed in any story or piece of literature aside from the Bible itself.
2. The FirstApocalypse of James
Jesus’s siblings are not mentioned very often in the Bible. He had a handful of brothers and several sisters; the one we know the most about is James. Historians debate whether James and the other siblings were truly Jesus’s direct relatives or if they were cousins; either way, when a text surrounding the life of James turned up in a pile of donkey sale receipts and scrap papers, many heads were turned. The paper was dubbed as heretical by the Church due to it describing James’s struggles in casting off the temptations of the secular world. Demon like creatures called Archons plagued him, causing him to doubt the teachings of Christ and have to fight to not give in to the worldly desires around him.
1. Canaanites:

For as long as there have been civilizations on earth, man has been curious about his ancestors. Our need to connect to our past fuels the study of anthropology and the many important sites and artifacts uncovered through archaeology have opened our eyes to the lives of those that came before us.

10. GreenGlassSpearhead
Students from the University of Western Australia got a powerful reminder of their country’s
history during a trip to Rottnest Island, offshore from Perth, when they spotted a striking
spearhead fashioned from green glass. Strange thing is, green glass isn’t local to Australia. So
how did it get there?? The answer lies in the island’s troubled history, it’s not the prettiest story.
9. SharkToothWeapons
In 2012 experts got a surprise when researching the ecology of the Gilbert Islands. They’re located in the Central PacificOcean and the local craft involved making weapons using sharks’ teeth. The islanders would start with a buttress made of wood, which they would then attach the ultra sharp teeth to using cords made from coconut leaves.
8. Dirty HarrySlingshot
It seems you didn’t need the power of Dirty Harry’s .44 Magnum to stop an aggressor back in A.D.140. That’s if an archaeological site in Scotland is anything to go by! In 2017 experts began finding ancient Roman at a field in Burnswark, near Edinburgh. The area would have witnessed the Roman Army building Hadrian’s Wall and pushing back the natives as they went. This naturally led to some pretty nasty confrontations.
7. Mata’a of Easter Island
Up until a couple of years ago it was believed the Rapa Nui people of Easter Island in the southeastern Pacific Ocean died because of conflict. They apparently used up all their resources and turned on each other, leading to their demise. This was based on what appeared to be weaponry called ‘mata’a’, made from obsidian, or volcanic glass, found across the length and breadth of the area.
6. The Rain of Genghis KhanIt’s generally accepted that Genghis Khan the Mongol ruler was one dude you didn’t want to mess with. We certainly wouldn’t argue with him anyway! The founding of the Mongol Empire was one of the most effective examples of military might the world has ever seen.
5. Tomb Triggers of Emperor Qin Huang
The resting place of Qin (pronounced Chin) Huangdi, or China’s First Emperor as he was better known, captured the imaginations of both archaeologists and everyone else when his mausoleum was discovered in the 1970s. That distinctive image of 8,000 - count ‘em, 8,000! - Terracotta Warriors was truly a sight to behold.
4. VikingKnock-offSwords
Old Viking swords can be found in various museums and collections around the world. They certainly look the part but around a decade ago people began noticing something strange about some of the blades. Turns out they were counterfeit! But you want to know the really strange thing? They’re still original Viking swords. Confused? You should be…
3. Megalithic Crystal Weapons
When exploring tombs from the Megalithic era in Spain, archaeologists unearthed a truly astonishing discovery… 5,000 year old weapons fashioned from rock crystal! These were hidden inside chambers made of slate slabs, that gave them clues about the elite society found entombed at the site of Valencina de la Concepción.
2. Pepola Dhung Discovery
There’s a long history across the globe of archaeological finds interfering with building and construction projects. Uncovering an ancient skull or rusty sword when you’re trying to bring a multi million dollar project in on time isn’t the most convenient thing, but it can shine a light on history and is worth stopping work for!
1. Mountain Sword
Climate change is generally a bad thing for the planet but it does have unexpected side effects. In terms of archaeology, the melting of snow and ice can reveal stuff from thousands of years ago that people had never thought possible. Just such a thing was found last year up a mountain in Norway by a reindeer hunter.

From treasures you can’t imagine to bejeweled human remains, here are 10 of the greatest and most mysterious archaeological finds ever made in Ancient Rome.
10 “MiniPompeii” Metro
During the 2007 construction of the Line C Metro in Rome, workers accidentally uncovered one of the most incredible archaeological finds of all time: a partially intact ancient home. Archaeologist GilbertoPagani was absolutely blown away by the house, which was found roughly 40 feet underground, he dubbed it the “mini pompeii” due to its preservation method. The home caught on fire some 1800 years ago, causing the ceiling to collapse. The falling ceiling sealed the home, preserving everything inside, giving us a glimpse of everyday second century Roman life. Complete with incredible mosaics and marble floors, Pagani’s crew even discovered a large dog’s skeleton inside, well preserved in the rubble, and many intact structural beams. The find has actually since been used to create more accurate models of Roman homes and structures, giving us an even clearer picture of ancestral Roman life. Whats really incredible is that the home will be carefully removed for preservation and restoration, and then put back to be used as part of the metro station, it will certainly be one the most beautiful and historical metro stops in the world.
9 Ara Pacis
The Ara Pacis is a monument in Rome built to commemorate the peaceful and successful reign of Augustus, the first true Emperor of the Roman Republic. Rediscovered in 1568, when the first fragments of the great monument emerged, the Ara Pacis was not restored until much later in the 1930s when Benito Mussolini ordered the project to begin. The monument was made entirely of hand carved marble and depicted the lineage of Augustus’ family alongside scenes of mythology. Inside of the construction was a sacrificial altar where blood sacrifices and burnt offerings were sent to the gods. The fragments have been kept in museum safekeeping since then with a highly controversial architectural piece done by the firm of Richard Meier taking the place of the original monument.
8 A Mosaic in England
During a 2015 dig in Boxford, England, a stunning, massive mosaic was uncovered amid rubble. Depicting numerous scenes, including Hercules during his trials and Bellerophon fighting a Chimera, the obviously Roman work was thought to be a hoax due to its odd location until testing revealed it to be over one thousand years old and of certain Roman creation. Rome invaded Britain in 43 AD, so the piece was likely commissioned during that time and eventually lost. Incredibly, the work survived over ten centuries buried in Boxford, unnoticed and undisturbed, a testament to the Roman influence spread around the globe.
7 Corinth
In the time before planes, controlling seaports meant having power and prosperity. These good tides also brought attention from the rest of the world, putting nations at greater risk of invasions. Corinth, a Greek city, held two seaports, making it a highly sought after landmass. It was leveled in a hostile Roman takeover in 146 BCE and rebuilt with as part of the Roman Empire. In 44 BCE, Caesar reclaimed the ports as Greek property, which has remained Corinth ever since. Over time, the port of Lechaion became weighted down and crumbled into the sea, at which point it was presumed lost forever. Recently, though, a dive team discovered the sunken remains of the land and were shocked to find that the architecture and advancements of the area were not Greek, but instead Roman. The Greeks retained the Roman work, allowing the innovations of the empire to spread as visitors came to do business with the Greeks.
6 CopperFactory
In 2008, researchers discovered an entire factory’s remmanents buried beneath the dust. Dated to around the sixth century, this factory was used to smelt copper, one of Rome’s most important resources for coin making, architecture, and the historically incredible Roman plumbing system and aqueducts. Romans would melt down ores and pour the metal into specialized molds to create pipes, individual coins, and other pieces. The craftsmen of such work would toil in extremely hot environments and had to be extremely cautious in their work to prevent serious burns from the molten metal and hot tools. Many aspects of their smelting process was recovered within this excavation, giving us a little more insight in the system the Romans used which was ahead of its time .

At Yale University, Debra Fischer and Julien Spronck, along with Geoff Marcy of the University of California, Berkeley, set out to improve existing spectrograph technologies. Spurred by a $45,000 grant from The Planetary Society, the team built FINDS, a spectrograph add-on device.

Reception

The Allmusic review by Rick Anderson states "Adderley plays beautifully throughout... Unfortunately, the sound quality of this disc varies (sometimes within a single track) more than it should for a recording of this vintage, and the disc's 35-minute length is another annoyance. But the weight of great performances by Adderley, Silver and the infallible Clarke/Chambers axis, combined with the disc's attractive price, make it a solid value. Highly recommended". Several of these tracks were also included on the CD rerelease of Presenting Cannonball Adderley.

Discoveries (TV series)

Premise

This Winnipeg-produced science show was geared towards youth ages 12 to 14. Some episodes featured Manitoba Museum curator Dick Sutton presenting segments on nature and its history. In March 1957, the series featured Manitoba Telephone System executive R. P. Coats who demonstrated principles of telecommunications by presenting basic, easily constructed devices. University of Manitoba greenhouse operator Stan Westaway taught about plants, trees and vegetables during the May 1957 broadcasts. Rod McKenzie, a Winnipeg secondary school teacher, hosted the final three episodes of Discoveries on the topic of electricity.

This series is distinct from an Ann Arbor, Michigan-produced Discoveries science series which was presented by Mary Lela Grimes and broadcast on CBC Television from July to September 1959.

Scheduling

This 15-minute series was broadcast on Fridays at 5:00p.m. (Eastern) from 8 February to 28 June 1957.

Jesus H. Christ

Jesus H. Christ is a common phrase used to refer to the religious figure Jesus Christ. It is a vulgarism and is uttered in anger, surprise, or frustration, though sometimes also with humorous intent. It is not used in the context of Christian worship.

History

The earliest use of the phrase is unknown, but in his autobiography, Mark Twain (1835-1910) observed that it was in general use even in his childhood. Twain refers to an episode from 1847, when he was working as a printer's apprentice; Smith (1994) tells the tale thus:

Smith suggests (1994:331-2) that "Jesus H. Christ" is a specifically American profanity, and indicates that at least in his experience it is uttered primarily by men.

The frequency of use of the expression – in books only – may be traced on the Google Ngram Viewer utility. It appears to have been vanishingly rare in books up to about 1930, and began a sharp ascent in frequency starting in about 1970 and continuing to the present day.

Stress pattern

Multiple authors emphasize the practice of placing a strong stress on the "H", relating it in various ways to expletive infixation. Thus Quinion writes:

Jesus Christ (Woody Guthrie song)

The song argues that Jesus would have been shunned and possibly killed by modern capitalist society much as he was in his own time. The song was partially sung and played on the piano by the Guthrie character in the biographical film Bound For Glory, set to the same tune as the folk ballad "Jesse James".

"I wrote this song looking out of a rooming house window in New York City in the winter of Nineteen and Forty. I thought I had to put down on paper how I felt about the rich folks and the poor ones."
"If it wasn’t for the Library of Congress and small record labels like Folkways, it’s doubtful that Woody Guthrie’s “Jesus Christ” would’ve ever been recorded. Guthrie’s portrait depicts Jesus as in opposition to the wealthy and the powerful; the song's Christ, in commanding the rich to sell their goods and give to the poor, echoing Jesus's words to, "go, sell your possessions and give to the poor." He carries his political statement one step further, however, by noting that if Christ preached the same message today, he’d be crucified once again (presumably by many people who profess the Christian message). Guthrie wrote of the song: “…If He [Jesus] was to walk into New York City and preach like he use to. … they’d lock Him up back in Jail as sure as you’re reading this.” The lyrics are hard hitting and graphic, with lines blaming cops, bankers, soldiers, landlords, and preachers as being the ones who “nailed Him in the sky.” Guthrie first recorded the song for Alan Lomax at the Library of Congress in 1940 and recorded it again for Moses Asch at Folkways where it was released on Woody Guthrie in 1944. In 1947 Guthrie added four verses to the song."

Most Incredible Archaeological Finds

Scientists and archaeologists are making new, incredible discoveries all the time about the history of Earth’s civilizations. Here are some of the most important--and the most bizarre--findings.

3. LeadBooksFound in Jordan
In 2008, 70 books--or codices--were uncovered in a remote cave in Jordan. The pages are crafted of lead and appear to be almost unreadable, bound together on rings. To an outside observer, they may not look like much, but this was a find that could change the way ancient Christianity is studied and maybe even how we perceive Jesus Christ himself. Through rigorous testing, all 70 books were determined to be genuine and date to the first century AD, making them 2,000 years old. The books reference the apostles John, Peter, and James as well as the earliest mentions of Jesus Christ--even including a portrait of him. The writings in the codices suggest that Jesus was not beginning a new religion; rather, he was continuing a thousand-year-old religion begun during the time of King David, a religion that worshipped a God who was both male and female. One of the book has seven seals, matching the description of a codex mentioned in the Book of Revelation. These are the earliest known Hebrew-Christian documents, which means they could provide valuable information for those practicing Christianity, Islam, or Judaism.
2. The Library of Ashurbanipal
It is said that this was the library which inspired Alexander the Great to build the great library of Alexandria, all of which has been lost. This library, however, sometimes called “the first library” or “the oldest library” in the world, still exists and 30,000 tablets of literature, medical texts, and more have been recovered from its shelves. The library dates to the 7th century BC and is today located in northern Iraq, near Mosul. During its time, it would have been located in the ancient city of Nineveh, the capital of Assyria in Mesopotamia. Ashurbanipal was motivated to create the library because his childhood education allowed him to learn to read and write, as he was not originally expected to take the throne. During his reign, Mesopotamia expanded to include Egypt, Babylon, Persia and Syria. For this reason, the texts included in the library are of incredible significance to understanding the history of these places. Finally, among the tablets found in the library, is one that nearly everyone is familiar with: The Epic of Gilgamesh, which is considered one of the earliest great pieces of literature.
1. Gobekli Tepe (teep)
The discovery of this temple in modern-day Turkey is an incredible archaeological find that could force scientists to rethink the timeline of human civilization as we know it. The temple has been carbon-dated to be around 11,000 years old, having been constructed around 9600 BC. Civilizations as we know them, with beginnings in Egypt and Mesopotamia, did not begin until around 3000 BC, about 5000 years ago. But this temple was clearly built with care and a ton of hard work, supposedly with the intention of making it a place of worship. The temple consists of two 10-foot pillars in its center, decorated with carvings of animals and more identifiable icons. Bones at the temple suggest there were once sacrifices here. The temple then goes outward in rings, with more pillars inside each ring. The building of this temple would have predated writing, pottery-making, metalworking, and according to previous estimates, organized worship. The mystery of the site continues as crude Neolithic tools were found, which were made of flint. But how were such tools used to carve pillars that weigh around 40-60 tons? And how did they move these pillars to the site of the temple? The questions continue, but one thing is certain: The discovery of this temple could lead to incredible answers about the evolution of society.

9 Perfectly PreservedSkeletons
In the center of the Cambridge University campus, an ancient burial site was unearthed that dates back to between 1290 and 1538. So far, diggers have found 25 perfectly intact skeletons. Other skeletons were chopped in half by 20th-century foundations being placed into the earth. Archaeologists expect to find many more remains in the area—possibly 40 or more skeletons total.
8 UntouchedRoyalPeruvian Tomb
A tomb created around 1,200 years ago has been unearthed and revealed the graves of three queens. These queens were buried alongside gold and silver riches and what seem to be human sacrifices. The area around the tomb has been looted and tampered with many times over the years, but the tomb remains completely untouched. It was protected by 30 tons of loose stones. The human sacrifices were found in sitting positions in neat rows, and the queens were buried in separate small chambers surrounded by gold trinkets and tools. More than a thousand separate items have been uncovered from the site since its discovery.
7 Noah’s ArkMosaic
In 2016, a mosaic that has imagery depicting the story of Noah’s ark was discovered inside of an ancient synagogue at the site of Huqoq (hoocoke) in Israel. The mosaic illustrates, of course, the ark, and includes pairs of lions, bears, and leopards with other animals. It even shows the story of the parting Red Sea complete with ancient Egyptian soldiers who were surrounded by overturned chariots and being attacked by giant fish.
6 JesusTombs
Israel’s antiquities authorities recently allowed reporters into its vast storerooms to show the world some of the discoveries they have made that give us some insight into what it was like to live in during the Biblical era. These two ossuaries have inscriptions that seem to spell out the word “Jesus”. Before anyone gets too excited, it’s likely not the bones of the Jesus you are thinking about, as the name was very common thousands of years ago. Scientists are still on the lookout for more evidence as to what he actually looked like.
5 MedievalWall In Parking Lot
When the University of Leicester (lesta) set out to build a new student accommodation block in early 2017, they luckily called archaeological diggers instead of construction workers. These diggers uncovered an entire medieval wall hidden underneath the parking lot and future construction site in Coventry. Experts say that the wall was more likely used for commercial purposes rather than for defense. Now, Richard Buckley who is one of the co-directors of the University of Leicester (lesta) Archaeological Services says they may move the foundations of the new building to better preserve the wall.
4 Watlington Hoard
The Watlington Hoard is now being kept at Oxford University’s Ashmolean Museum. This hoard was some bonafide, real life buried treasure and it cost Oxford University 1.35 Million pounds to purchase ownership. The story goes that Alfred the GreatKing of Wessex buried all of his treasure sometime between 871 and 899 AD to hide them from Viking raids. The hoard includes 15 ingots, 7 pieces of jewelry, a scrap of gold, and 186 including a rare penny minted with the image of Two emperors.
3 The One Ring
Some say that this ancient Roman ring currently on display in a Tudor mansion in England could have been what inspired J.R.R. Tolkien’s fantasy Lord of the Rings. Tolkien was a professor of Anglo Saxon history and could have well known about this ancient artifact. The ring was originally unearthed by a farmer and then passed on to the Tudor family for money, perhaps inspiring a ring that was passed down through history ala the Ring.
2 PompeiiArtifacts
At this point, we’re all familiar with the catastrophe of Pompeii, when a giant volcanic eruption laid waste to an entire city and created hard ash casts of everyone and everything in its past. The newest shocking specimens went on display at The British Museum, including the cast of a child in pugilist’s position as well as a carbonised baby’s cradle that looks shockingly similar to the cradles we use today.

7: Mummified Moa Remains
In 1986, a team of archeologists were investigating the insides of a large cave system underneath Mount Owen in New Zealand. With very little visibility in the vast network of tunnels, they stumbled across a bizarre object that left them wondering whether their eyes were playing tricks on them. In front of them lay a large dinosaur-like claw, with intact flesh and scaly skin. Curious, the team took it back with them for analysis. The results could not have been more astounding - the mysterious claw belonged to a 3300 year old prehistoric bird known as the upland moa. For some reason the mummified claw had been preserved so well, it appeared as if the creature had only recently died. Otherwise known by its scientific name Megalapteryx didinus, the upland moa was a large flightless bird that reached up to 12 feet in height, and weighed over 500 pounds. Moa birds were once the dominant animals in New Zealand's forest ecosystems, until the arrival of the Maori people who hunted them down to extinction. Scientists have suggested that modern day revival of the species is a viable idea, as their remains contained extractable DNA that could be introduced into chicken embryos. Interest in the subject has been going on for years, and with the advancements in biology and genetics, we may one day get to see a live running moa.
3: The AlienSkulls of Mexico
Residents of the small Mexican village of Onavas stumbled upon a shocking discovery while building an irrigation canal. What they found was an ancient burial site, referred to as El Cementerio, containing 25 skeletal remains. The most shocking part was that 13 of the skeletons had abnormally long skulls, unlike any known species on our planet. Five were found with mutilated teeth. The freakish discovery led to early speculations that the bodies were those of extraterrestrial beings, similar to the ones seen in Ridley Scott's popular Alien film series. However, researchers were quick to suggest that the skulls were the result of intentional cranial reshaping. Several ancient Central American cultures had a tradition of forcing their heads into strange shapes. This was done by placing enormous pressure on their skulls since early childhood, for example by using tightly bound cloths or wooden boards
2: The Graveyard of GiantWombats
Wombats might be seen as cute and comical animals, but you might think differently if you come across one that's rhino-sized. In 2012, scientists in Australia unveiled the largest graveyard ever found of enormous ancient mega-wombats called diprotodon. There were around 50 diprotodon remains found, estimated to have weighed an average 2.8 tons each, making them the largest known marsupials to roam the planet. One of the largest and most well preserved specimens was named "Kenny", with a massive 28-inch long jawbone. The creatures are described as pidgeon-toed, and had big kangaroo-like pouches large enough to fit an adult human. The grave is part of a larger fossil deposit in the remote outback of Australia'sQueensland state. It is described as a goldmine
1: Giant HumansGenesis chapter 6 tells us, "There were giants in the earth in those days, and afterwards". This verse refers to the Nephilim, a giant race of men who according to the bible, were perished by the Great Flood. Scriptural writings of other religions also include similar tales of giant people who once walked the Earth. Enthusiastic believers advocate that these stories are true, and in recent years many stories of archeological findings of giant men have appeared on the internet. The most famous of these was the story about a giant human skeleton uncovered in the desert during gas exploration in Saudi Arabia. Pictures were included, linked with the Islamic story of the Prophet Hud and the powerful giant tribe of Ad. Similar pictures and stories of biblical giants can be found, such as the alleged discovery of giants by archeologists in Greece. However, none of these claims have been proven, and the scientific community regards them as mere hoax stories accompanied with photo-shopped images. There are however, some real findings of ancient giants, although nowhere as dramatic as the aforementioned stories. In 1890, French anthropologist Georges Vacher de Lapouge found three bone fragments of a human leg in France. The height of the individual - popularly referred to as the "Giant of Castelnau" - is estimated to have been around 3.5 meters (11 ft 6 in). Studies showed that those bones dated back to the Neolithic period, and according to experts either represented a "very tall race" or were the result of "morbid growth."

Archaeological Finds Proving the BIBLE is TRUE

Archaeological Finds Proving the BIBLE is TRUE

Archaeological Finds Proving the BIBLE is TRUE

From the possible discovery of the brother of jesus, to a discovery proving the existence of a once lost race here are 6 Archaeological Finds that Prove the Bible is True
6. CrucifiedBurial
Crucifixion is the type of execution used to end the life of Jesus Christ. Typically, large nails were hammered through the hands and feet of the offender to affix them to a wooden cross. According to the Bible, Jesus had amassed a group of followers and openly declared himself the son of God. This ran afoul the beliefs of the monarchy at the time who sentenced him to death. The crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus Christ is a point of contention among believers and skeptics. One of the biggest arguments against the storied death of Jesus is that crucifixion was only reserved for the foulest repeat criminals, typically those who engaged in violent crimes or showed no signs of being saved. These men would have been denied a proper burial. It is said that after Jesus’s death, he was placed in a tomb from which he was resurrected before returning to Heaven. If history was to be believed, he would have never even been placed in a tomb because crucified men were not permitted honorable burials.
5. The Pool of Siloam
In the Book of John, many miracles performed by Jesus are described. In chapter nine, Jesus meets a blind man, who he heals by spitting into the dirt and using the mud to cover his eyes. He then tells the man to go to the Pool of Siloam and rinse the mud off then go home. The man does so and his vision is restored fully. For centuries, non-believers and believers alike were puzzled by there being no known location where the Pool of Siloam could have once been.
4. James, Brother of Jesus
For five years, a forgery trial rocked the archaeological community. In 2002, archaeologists uncovered a burial box, also known as an ossuary, that bore the inscription, “James, son of Joseph, brother of Jesus”. An uproar raced across the Christian community. Had they discovered the bones of Jesus Christ’s martyred brother? The answer is a bit unsatisfying: they do not know. The authenticity of the inscription has been called into question several times, culminating in a forgery trial in which the dealer who had possession of the box was found not guilty of forgery.
3. A Merciful King
The books of Ezra and 2 Corinthians speak of Cyrus the Great of Persia conquering Babylon in a massive military movement then allowing the exiled Jews to regain entry into Israel in a sudden act of kindness that was completely out of character for a ruler at the time. Many claim that the Old Testament story was nothing more than a work of fiction, as no proof of Cyrus’s odd change of heart existed in any story or piece of literature aside from the Bible itself.
2. The FirstApocalypse of James
Jesus’s siblings are not mentioned very often in the Bible. He had a handful of brothers and several sisters; the one we know the most about is James. Historians debate whether James and the other siblings were truly Jesus’s direct relatives or if they were cousins; either way, when a text surrounding the life of James turned up in a pile of donkey sale receipts and scrap papers, many heads were turned. The paper was dubbed as heretical by the Church due to it describing James’s struggles in casting off the temptations of the secular world. Demon like creatures called Archons plagued him, causing him to doubt the teachings of Christ and have to fight to not give in to the worldly desires around him.

10. GreenGlassSpearhead
Students from the University of Western Australia got a powerful reminder of their country’s
history during a trip to Rottnest Island, offshore from Perth, when they spotted a striking
spearhead fashioned from green glass. Strange thing is, green glass isn’t local to Australia. So
how did it get there?? The answer lies in the island’s troubled history, it’s not the prettiest story.
9. SharkToothWeapons
In 2012 experts got a surprise when researching the ecology of the Gilbert Islands. They’re located in the Central PacificOcean and the local craft involved making weapons using sharks’ teeth. The islanders would start with a buttress made of wood, which they would then attach the ultra sharp teeth to using cords made from coconut leaves.
8. Dirty HarrySlingshot
It seems you didn’t need the power of Dirty Harry’s .44 Magnum to stop an aggressor back in A.D.140. That’s if an archaeological site in Scotland is anything to go by! In 2017 experts began finding ancient Roman at a field in Burnswark, near Edinburgh. The area would have witnessed the Roman Army building Hadrian’s Wall and pushing back the natives as they went. This naturally led to some pretty nasty confrontations.
7. Mata’a of Easter Island
Up until a couple of years ago it was believed the Rapa Nui people of Easter Island in the southeastern Pacific Ocean died because of conflict. They apparently used up all their resources and turned on each other, leading to their demise. This was based on what appeared to be weaponry called ‘mata’a’, made from obsidian, or volcanic glass, found across the length and breadth of the area.
6. The Rain of Genghis KhanIt’s generally accepted that Genghis Khan the Mongol ruler was one dude you didn’t want to mess with. We certainly wouldn’t argue with him anyway! The founding of the Mongol Empire was one of the most effective examples of military might the world has ever seen.
5. Tomb Triggers of Emperor Qin Huang
The resting place of Qin (pronounced Chin) Huangdi, or China’s First Emperor as he was better known, captured the imaginations of both archaeologists and everyone else when his mausoleum was discovered in the 1970s. That distinctive image of 8,000 - count ‘em, 8,000! - Terracotta Warriors was truly a sight to behold.
4. VikingKnock-offSwords
Old Viking swords can be found in various museums and collections around the world. They certainly look the part but around a decade ago people began noticing something strange about some of the blades. Turns out they were counterfeit! But you want to know the really strange thing? They’re still original Viking swords. Confused? You should be…
3. Megalithic Crystal Weapons
When exploring tombs from the Megalithic era in Spain, archaeologists unearthed a truly astonishing discovery… 5,000 year old weapons fashioned from rock crystal! These were hidden inside chambers made of slate slabs, that gave them clues about the elite society found entombed at the site of Valencina de la Concepción.
2. Pepola Dhung Discovery
There’s a long history across the globe of archaeological finds interfering with building and construction projects. Uncovering an ancient skull or rusty sword when you’re trying to bring a multi million dollar project in on time isn’t the most convenient thing, but it can shine a light on history and is worth stopping work for!
1. Mountain Sword
Climate change is generally a bad thing for the planet but it does have unexpected side effects. In terms of archaeology, the melting of snow and ice can reveal stuff from thousands of years ago that people had never thought possible. Just such a thing was found last year up a mountain in Norway by a reindeer hunter.

10 Mysterious Ancient Roman Archaeological Finds

10 Mysterious Ancient Roman Archaeological Finds

10 Mysterious Ancient Roman Archaeological Finds

From treasures you can’t imagine to bejeweled human remains, here are 10 of the greatest and most mysterious archaeological finds ever made in Ancient Rome.
10 “MiniPompeii” Metro
During the 2007 construction of the Line C Metro in Rome, workers accidentally uncovered one of the most incredible archaeological finds of all time: a partially intact ancient home. Archaeologist GilbertoPagani was absolutely blown away by the house, which was found roughly 40 feet underground, he dubbed it the “mini pompeii” due to its preservation method. The home caught on fire some 1800 years ago, causing the ceiling to collapse. The falling ceiling sealed the home, preserving everything inside, giving us a glimpse of everyday second century Roman life. Complete with incredible mosaics and marble floors, Pagani’s crew even discovered a large dog’s skeleton inside, well preserved in the rubble, and many intact structural beams. The find has actually since been used to create more accurate models of Roman homes and structures, giving us an even clearer picture of ancestral Roman life. Whats really incredible is that the home will be carefully removed for preservation and restoration, and then put back to be used as part of the metro station, it will certainly be one the most beautiful and historical metro stops in the world.
9 Ara Pacis
The Ara Pacis is a monument in Rome built to commemorate the peaceful and successful reign of Augustus, the first true Emperor of the Roman Republic. Rediscovered in 1568, when the first fragments of the great monument emerged, the Ara Pacis was not restored until much later in the 1930s when Benito Mussolini ordered the project to begin. The monument was made entirely of hand carved marble and depicted the lineage of Augustus’ family alongside scenes of mythology. Inside of the construction was a sacrificial altar where blood sacrifices and burnt offerings were sent to the gods. The fragments have been kept in museum safekeeping since then with a highly controversial architectural piece done by the firm of Richard Meier taking the place of the original monument.
8 A Mosaic in England
During a 2015 dig in Boxford, England, a stunning, massive mosaic was uncovered amid rubble. Depicting numerous scenes, including Hercules during his trials and Bellerophon fighting a Chimera, the obviously Roman work was thought to be a hoax due to its odd location until testing revealed it to be over one thousand years old and of certain Roman creation. Rome invaded Britain in 43 AD, so the piece was likely commissioned during that time and eventually lost. Incredibly, the work survived over ten centuries buried in Boxford, unnoticed and undisturbed, a testament to the Roman influence spread around the globe.
7 Corinth
In the time before planes, controlling seaports meant having power and prosperity. These good tides also brought attention from the rest of the world, putting nations at greater risk of invasions. Corinth, a Greek city, held two seaports, making it a highly sought after landmass. It was leveled in a hostile Roman takeover in 146 BCE and rebuilt with as part of the Roman Empire. In 44 BCE, Caesar reclaimed the ports as Greek property, which has remained Corinth ever since. Over time, the port of Lechaion became weighted down and crumbled into the sea, at which point it was presumed lost forever. Recently, though, a dive team discovered the sunken remains of the land and were shocked to find that the architecture and advancements of the area were not Greek, but instead Roman. The Greeks retained the Roman work, allowing the innovations of the empire to spread as visitors came to do business with the Greeks.
6 CopperFactory
In 2008, researchers discovered an entire factory’s remmanents buried beneath the dust. Dated to around the sixth century, this factory was used to smelt copper, one of Rome’s most important resources for coin making, architecture, and the historically incredible Roman plumbing system and aqueducts. Romans would melt down ores and pour the metal into specialized molds to create pipes, individual coins, and other pieces. The craftsmen of such work would toil in extremely hot environments and had to be extremely cautious in their work to prevent serious burns from the molten metal and hot tools. Many aspects of their smelting process was recovered within this excavation, giving us a little more insight in the system the Romans used which was ahead of its time .

9. Skeleton in the Driveway
A man named BertieCurrie was doing some work on his land where he owned a bar in Northern Ireland. He was trying to make a driveway, but instead found himself looking at some human bones. He called the police, and they were able to determine that luckily, he wasn't sitting on a murder scene because the bones were much older.
8. PictishAnvil
The Pictish people were a “lost people” that we know very little about. They were called the Picti, or Painted people by the Romans and they were a confederation of tribes located in Northern Scotland.
In 2016, archaeologists found an unusual artifact on the island of Rousay: an anvil that is believed to be 1,500 years old.
7. OtziThe Iceman
In 1991, two German hikers were climbing through the Alps when they came across a frozen body. At first, they thought it was the body of a hiker, like them, who had gotten trapped in the snow and so they called the police. It turns out the body was over 5,000 years old. This makes him older than the pyramids of Egypt and Stonehenge! Nicknamed Otzi, the mummy of this ancient man is actually Europe’s oldest naturally formed mummy (as he was not embalmed by human hands).
6. Mega Stonehenge
The mystery of Stonehenge (both in terms of construction and its true purpose) is something that has puzzled scientists, researchers, archaeologists, and people in general, for centuries. But what some don't realize, is that just two miles away from Stonehenge is another structure that is even bigger, and even more puzzling in some ways. Its name...is Mega Stonehenge, or Superhenge, whichever you prefer!
5. Horses and Chariot
There are a lot of ancient weapons and vehicles that have been found during archaeological digs. But in Bulgaria, they found something they didn't expect, an extremely well-preserved carriage and its two horses. But the strangest thing was that they were found buried in an upright position. Pillows of some kind were even placed under the horses heads to keep them propped up.
4. Prehistoric CultComplexCults may be something you would associate with the modern world, but they have been around for awhile!, At least as far as the Stone Age! This came via a discovery in Bulgaria, where a team of archaeologists found a prehistoric complex on the island in Durankulak Lake. The complex or city was completely made out of stone, and one of the buildings dated back to 5500 BC, which would make it the oldest prehistoric stone building in Europe!!
3. Britain's "Pompeii"
During an archaeological dig in Cambridgeshire in Great Britain, a rather large wheel was found. It was traced back to the Bronze Age, which was impressive given the size of the wheel and the fact that it was made entirely out of planks made of oak.
2. Gobekli Tepe
Gobekli Tepe is an archaeological site in Turkey that has changed the way we see the rise of civilizations. While the debate about Turkey being in Europe or not is still going on, as an archaeological site, many of the archaeologists are from Germany, Belgium, and the countless universities and the significance of this place applies to everyone.
1. Knossos Was Big!!
At one time, Knossos on the Greek island of Crete, was an important part of the Greek economic structure, and during the Bronze Age, it was a huge trading center. You remember Knossos and the legendary King Minos. And, of course it was also home to the legendary labyrinth that spawned the legend of the Minotaur.

9. Egypt’s Most Influential PharaohLast year, in 2017, National Geographic reported that archaeologists from Egypt and Germany had discovered a huge eight-metre statue submerged in ground water in Cairo. The statue at first was believed to depict Pharaoh Ramses II, who ruled Egypt over 3,000 years ago and was one of the country’s most powerful leaders.
8. EliteTombs in LuxorThe discovery of two ancient tombs in the southern city of Luxor surprised the world and brought new buzz to Egypt in 2017. Located in the the Draa Abul Naga necropolis, this area is famous for its temples and burial grounds. It is close to the Valley of the Kings where many of ancient Egypt's pharaohs were buried.
7. A NubianKing
In 2008, the remains of a mysterious 2,600-year-old statue were discovered in a temple at Dangeil, along the Nile River in Sudan.
However, archeologists found only parts of the statue, which meant they could not identify who it was until years later. The temple where the remains were found are believed to have once been dedicated to the Egyptian Amun.
6. The Ankhesenpepi Pyramid
Archaeologists have discovered the first evidence of a long-lost satellite pyramid for the ancient Egyptian QueenAnkhesenpepi II. She was considered the most important Egyptian queen of the 6th Dynasty around 2,350 BC. She and her sister Ankhesenpepi I were both married to Pharaoh Pepi I. While the names might seem like a huge coincidence, it is most likely that they both took on the same name when they married.
5. Remains of a Musician
In Timna, Israel, archaeologists discovered the mysterious remains of a pregnant woman from 3,200 years ago. This biblical-era site supposedly never had any female visitors and during the time of her the place was controlled by Egypt. This discovery last year challenged the historical understanding of experts.
4. The Statue of Ptah
In 2014, archaeologists discovered a pit full of ancient goodies! Among them, a statue of the Egyptian Ptah, alongside a beautiful carved cat, a sphinx, and a Baboon.
Ptah was the of craftsmen and sculptors and was worshipped in a temple at Karnak.
3. Tutankhamen’s Camping Bed
When famous archaeologist Howard Carter discovered King Tut’s tomb in 1922, he also discovered some furniture in his treasury. While this might not sound that exciting compared to everything that was found, it definitely deserves its own mention.
2. A HiddenChamber
After years of analysis and exploration, researchers believed they had uncovered every secret hidden inside the pyramid of Giza, however in 2017 a new chamber was revealed! This 4500-year-old monument and wonder of the world has much more to share. Researchers used muon detectors, the by-product of cosmic rays to reveal the unidentified chamber.
1. The Two Brothers
In 1907, the findings of two mystery mummies left researchers perplexed for decades, but now, thanks to DNA sequencing, scientist have finally solved the mystery!! The pair’s burial site was discovered in, a village 250 miles south of Cairo. They were found by Egyptian workmen directed

3. LeadBooksFound in Jordan
In 2008, 70 books--or codices--were uncovered in a remote cave in Jordan. The pages are crafted of lead and appear to be almost unreadable, bound together on rings. To an outside observer, they may not look like much, but this was a find that could change the way ancient Christianity is studied and maybe even how we perceive Jesus Christ himself. Through rigorous testing, all 70 books were determined to be genuine and date to the first century AD, making them 2,000 years old. The books reference the apostles John, Peter, a...

6. CrucifiedBurial
Crucifixion is the type of execution used to end the life of Jesus Christ. Typically, large nails were hammered through the hands and feet of the offender to affix them to a wooden cross. According to the Bible, Jesus had amassed a group of followers and openly declared himself the son of God. This ran afoul the beliefs of the monarchy at the time who sentenced him to death. The crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus Christ is a point of contention among believers and skeptics. One of the biggest arguments against the storied death of Jesus is that crucifixion was only reserved for the foulest repeat ...

10 Mysterious Ancient Roman Archaeological Finds

From treasures you can’t imagine to bejeweled human remains, here are 10 of the greatest and most mysterious archaeological finds ever made in Ancient Rome.
10 “MiniPompeii” Metro
During the 2007 construction of the Line C Metro in Rome, workers accidentally uncovered one of the most incredible archaeological finds of all time: a partially intact ancient home. Archaeologist GilbertoPagani was absolutely blown away by the house, which was found roughly 40 feet underground, he dubbed it the “mini pompeii” due to its preservation method. The home caught on fire some 1800 years ago, causing the ceiling to collapse. The falling ceiling sealed the home, preserving everything inside, giving us a glimpse of everyday second century Roman life. Complete with incredible mosaics and marble floors, ...

To an outside observer, they may not look like much, but this was a find that could change the way ancient Christianity is studied and maybe even how we perceive Jesus Christ himself. Through rigorous testing, all 70 books were determined to be genuine and date to the first century AD, making them 2,000 years old. The books reference the apostles John, Peter, and James as well as the earliest mentions of Jesus Christ--even including a portrait of him. The writings in the codices suggest that Jesus was not beginning a new religion; rather, he was continuing a thousand-year-old religion begun during the time of King David, a religion that worshipped a God who was both male and female. One of the book has seven seals, matching the description of a codex mentioned in the Book of Revelation. These are the earliest known Hebrew-Christian documents, which means they could provide valuable information for those practicing Christianity, Islam, or Judaism.
2. The Library of Ashurbanipal
It is said that this was the library which inspired Alexander the Great to build the great library of Alexandria, all of which has been lost. This library, however, sometimes called “the first library” or “the oldest library” in the world, still exists and 30,000 tablets of literature, medical texts, and more have been recovered from its shelves. The library dates to the 7th century BC and is today located in northern Iraq, near Mosul. During its time, it would have been located in the ancient city of Nineveh, the capital of Assyria in Mesopotamia. Ashurbanipal was motivated to create the library because his childhood education allowed him to learn to read and write, as he was not originally expected to take the throne. During his reign, Mesopotamia expanded to include Egypt, Babylon, Persia and Syria. For this reason, the texts included in the library are of incredible significance to understanding the history of these places. Finally, among the tablets found in the library, is one that nearly everyone is familiar with: The Epic of Gilgamesh, which is considered one of the earliest great pieces of literature.
1. Gobekli Tepe (teep)
The discovery of this temple in modern-day Turkey is an incredible archaeological find that could force scientists to rethink the timeline of human civilization as we know it. The temple has been carbon-dated to be around 11,000 years old, having been constructed around 9600 BC. Civilizations as we know them, with beginnings in Egypt and Mesopotamia, did not begin until around 3000 BC, about 5000 years ago. But this temple was clearly built with care and a ton of hard work, supposedly with the intention of making it a place of worship. The temple consists of two 10-foot pillars in its center, decorated with carvings of animals and more identifiable icons. Bones at the temple suggest there were once sacrifices here. The temple then goes outward in rings, with more pillars inside each ring. The building of this temple would have predated writing, pottery-making, metalworking, and according to previous estimates, organized worship. The mystery of the site continues as crude Neolithic tools were found, which were made of flint. But how were such tools used to carve pillars that weigh around 40-60 tons? And how did they move these pillars to the site of the temple? The questions continue, but one thing is certain: The discovery of this temple could lead to incredible answers about the evolution of society.

9 Perfectly PreservedSkeletons
In the center of the Cambridge University campus, an ancient burial site was unearthed that dates back to between 1290 and 1538. So far, diggers have found 25 perfectly intact skeletons. Other skeletons were chopped in half by 20th-century foundations being placed into the earth. Archaeologists expect to find many more remains in the area—possibly 40 or more skeletons total.
8 UntouchedRoyalPeruvian Tomb
A tomb created around 1,200 years ago has been unearthed and revealed the graves of three queens. These queens were buried alongside gold and silver riches and what seem to be human sacrifices. The area around the tomb has been looted and tampered with many times over the years, but the tomb remains completely untouched. It was protected by 30 tons of loose stones. The human sacrifices were found in sitting positions in neat rows, and the queens were buried in separate small chambers surrounded by gold trinkets and tools. More than a thousand separate items have been uncovered from the site since its discovery.
7 Noah’s ArkMosaic
In 2016, a mosaic that has imagery depicting the story of Noah’s ark was discovered inside of an ancient synagogue at the site of Huqoq (hoocoke) in Israel. The mosaic illustrates, of course, the ark, and includes pairs of lions, bears, and leopards with other animals. It even shows the story of the parting Red Sea complete with ancient Egyptian soldiers who were surrounded by overturned chariots and being attacked by giant fish.
6 JesusTombs
Israel’s antiquities authorities recently allowed reporters into its vast storerooms to show the world some of the discoveries they have made that give us some insight into what it was like to live in during the Biblical era. These two ossuaries have inscriptions that seem to spell out the word “Jesus”. Before anyone gets too excited, it’s likely not the bones of the Jesus you are thinking about, as the name was very common thousands of years ago. Scientists are still on the lookout for more evidence as to what he actually looked like.
5 MedievalWall In Parking Lot
When the University of Leicester (lesta) set out to build a new student accommodation block in early 2017, they luckily called archaeological diggers instead of construction workers. These diggers uncovered an entire medieval wall hidden underneath the parking lot and future construction site in Coventry. Experts say that the wall was more likely used for commercial purposes rather than for defense. Now, Richard Buckley who is one of the co-directors of the University of Leicester (lesta) Archaeological Services says they may move the foundations of the new building to better preserve the wall.
4 Watlington Hoard
The Watlington Hoard is now being kept at Oxford University’s Ashmolean Museum. This hoard was some bonafide, real life buried treasure and it cost Oxford University 1.35 Million pounds to purchase ownership. The story goes that Alfred the GreatKing of Wessex buried all of his treasure sometime between 871 and 899 AD to hide them from Viking raids. The hoard includes 15 ingots, 7 pieces of jewelry, a scrap of gold, and 186 including a rare penny minted with the image of Two emperors.
3 The One Ring
Some say that this ancient Roman ring currently on display in a Tudor mansion in England could have been what inspired J.R.R. Tolkien’s fantasy Lord of the Rings. Tolkien was a professor of Anglo Saxon history and could have well known about this ancient artifact. The ring was originally unearthed by a farmer and then passed on to the Tudor family for money, perhaps inspiring a ring that was passed down through history ala the Ring.
2 PompeiiArtifacts
At this point, we’re all familiar with the catastrophe of Pompeii, when a giant volcanic eruption laid waste to an entire city and created hard ash casts of everyone and everything in its past. The newest shocking specimens went on display at The British Museum, including the cast of a child in pugilist’s position as well as a carbonised baby’s cradle that looks shockingly similar to the cradles we use today.

7: Mummified Moa Remains
In 1986, a team of archeologists were investigating the insides of a large cave system underneath Mount Owen in New Zealand. With very little visibility in the vast network of tunnels, they stumbled across a bizarre object that left them wondering whether their eyes were playing tricks on them. In front of them lay a large dinosaur-like claw, with intact flesh and scaly skin. Curious, the team took it back with them for analysis. The results could not have been more astounding - the mysterious claw belonged to a 3300 year old prehistoric bird known as the upland moa. For some reason the mummified claw had been preserved so well, it appeared as if the creature had only recently died. Otherwise known by its scientific name Megalapteryx didinus, the upland moa was a large flightless bird that reached up to 12 feet in height, and weighed over 500 pounds. Moa birds were once the dominant animals in New Zealand's forest ecosystems, until the arrival of the Maori people who hunted them down to extinction. Scientists have suggested that modern day revival of the species is a viable idea, as their remains contained extractable DNA that could be introduced into chicken embryos. Interest in the subject has been going on for years, and with the advancements in biology and genetics, we may one day get to see a live running moa.
3: The AlienSkulls of Mexico
Residents of the small Mexican village of Onavas stumbled upon a shocking discovery while building an irrigation canal. What they found was an ancient burial site, referred to as El Cementerio, containing 25 skeletal remains. The most shocking part was that 13 of the skeletons had abnormally long skulls, unlike any known species on our planet. Five were found with mutilated teeth. The freakish discovery led to early speculations that the bodies were those of extraterrestrial beings, similar to the ones seen in Ridley Scott's popular Alien film series. However, researchers were quick to suggest that the skulls were the result of intentional cranial reshaping. Several ancient Central American cultures had a tradition of forcing their heads into strange shapes. This was done by placing enormous pressure on their skulls since early childhood, for example by using tightly bound cloths or wooden boards
2: The Graveyard of GiantWombats
Wombats might be seen as cute and comical animals, but you might think differently if you come across one that's rhino-sized. In 2012, scientists in Australia unveiled the largest graveyard ever found of enormous ancient mega-wombats called diprotodon. There were around 50 diprotodon remains found, estimated to have weighed an average 2.8 tons each, making them the largest known marsupials to roam the planet. One of the largest and most well preserved specimens was named "Kenny", with a massive 28-inch long jawbone. The creatures are described as pidgeon-toed, and had big kangaroo-like pouches large enough to fit an adult human. The grave is part of a larger fossil deposit in the remote outback of Australia'sQueensland state. It is described as a goldmine
1: Giant HumansGenesis chapter 6 tells us, "There were giants in the earth in those days, and afterwards". This verse refers to the Nephilim, a giant race of men who according to the bible, were perished by the Great Flood. Scriptural writings of other religions also include similar tales of giant people who once walked the Earth. Enthusiastic believers advocate that these stories are true, and in recent years many stories of archeological findings of giant men have appeared on the internet. The most famous of these was the story about a giant human skeleton uncovered in the desert during gas exploration in Saudi Arabia. Pictures were included, linked with the Islamic story of the Prophet Hud and the powerful giant tribe of Ad. Similar pictures and stories of biblical giants can be found, such as the alleged discovery of giants by archeologists in Greece. However, none of these claims have been proven, and the scientific community regards them as mere hoax stories accompanied with photo-shopped images. There are however, some real findings of ancient giants, although nowhere as dramatic as the aforementioned stories. In 1890, French anthropologist Georges Vacher de Lapouge found three bone fragments of a human leg in France. The height of the individual - popularly referred to as the "Giant of Castelnau" - is estimated to have been around 3.5 meters (11 ft 6 in). Studies showed that those bones dated back to the Neolithic period, and according to experts either represented a "very tall race" or were the result of "morbid growth."

The results could not have been more astounding - the mysterious claw belonged to a 3300 year old prehistoric bird known as the upland moa. For some reason the mummified claw had been preserved so well, it appeared as if the creature had only recently died. Otherwise known by its scientific name Megalapteryx didinus, the upland moa was a large flightless bird that reached up to 12 feet in height, and weighed over 500 pounds. Moa birds were once the dominant animals in New Zealand's forest ecosystems, until the arrival of the Maori people who hunted them down to extinction. Scientists have suggested that modern day revival of the species is a viable idea, as their remains contained extractable DNA that could be introduced into chicken embryos. Interest in the subject has been going on for years, and with the advancements in biology and genetics, we may one day get to see a live running moa.
3: The AlienSkulls of Mexico
Residents of the small Mexican village of Onavas stumbled upon a shocking discovery while building an irrigation canal. What they found was an ancient burial site, referred to as El Cementerio, containing 25 skeletal remains. The most shocking part was that 13 of the skeletons had abnormally long skulls, unlike any known species on our planet. Five were found with mutilated teeth. The freakish discovery led to early speculations that the bodies were those of extraterrestrial beings, similar to the ones seen in Ridley Scott's popular Alien film series. However, researchers were quick to suggest that the skulls were the result of intentional cranial reshaping. Several ancient Central American cultures had a tradition of forcing their heads into strange shapes. This was done by placing enormous pressure on their skulls since early childhood, for example by using tightly bound cloths or wooden boards
2: The Graveyard of GiantWombats
Wombats might be seen as cute and comical animals, but you might think differently if you come across one that's rhino-sized. In 2012, scientists in Australia unveiled the largest graveyard ever found of enormous ancient mega-wombats called diprotodon. There were around 50 diprotodon remains found, estimated to have weighed an average 2.8 tons each, making them the largest known marsupials to roam the planet. One of the largest and most well preserved specimens was named "Kenny", with a massive 28-inch long jawbone. The creatures are described as pidgeon-toed, and had big kangaroo-like pouches large enough to fit an adult human. The grave is part of a larger fossil deposit in the remote outback of Australia'sQueensland state. It is described as a goldmine
1: Giant HumansGenesis chapter 6 tells us, "There were giants in the earth in those days, and afterwards". This verse refers to the Nephilim, a giant race of men who according to the bible, were perished by the Great Flood. Scriptural writings of other religions also include similar tales of giant people who once walked the Earth. Enthusiastic believers advocate that these stories are true, and in recent years many stories of archeological findings of giant men have appeared on the internet. The most famous of these was the story about a giant human skeleton uncovered in the desert during gas exploration in Saudi Arabia. Pictures were included, linked with the Islamic story of the Prophet Hud and the powerful giant tribe of Ad. Similar pictures and stories of biblical giants can be found, such as the alleged discovery of giants by archeologists in Greece. However, none of these claims have been proven, and the scientific community regards them as mere hoax stories accompanied with photo-shopped images. There are however, some real findings of ancient giants, although nowhere as dramatic as the aforementioned stories. In 1890, French anthropologist Georges Vacher de Lapouge found three bone fragments of a human leg in France. The height of the individual - popularly referred to as the "Giant of Castelnau" - is estimated to have been around 3.5 meters (11 ft 6 in). Studies showed that those bones dated back to the Neolithic period, and according to experts either represented a "very tall race" or were the result of "morbid growth."

This could be the most important discovery of the 21st Century. Researchers have recently confirmed that they have evidence that an ancient race of aliens may have lived on Earth, this constitutes an incredible discovery. A discovery that may cause us to alter our history books forever.
Archaeologists are stunned by this latest news. A new species has been discovered. New DNA and carbon dating tests on one of several strange creatures discovered in Nazca, Peru, reveal she could be 1,800 years old and was 98.5 per cent primate - similar to humans - and 1.5% unknown.

From the possible discovery of the brother of jesus, to a discovery proving the existence of a once lost race here are 6 Archaeological Finds that Prove the Bible is True
6. CrucifiedBurial
Crucifixion is the type of execution used to end the life of Jesus Christ. Typically, large nails were hammered through the hands and feet of the offender to affix them to a wooden cross. According to the Bible, Jesus had amassed a group of followers and openly declared himself the son of God. This ran afoul the beliefs of the monarchy at the time who sentenced him to death. The crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus Christ is a point of contention among believers and skeptics. One of the biggest arguments against the storied death of Jesus is that crucifixion was only reserved for the foulest repeat criminals, typically those who engaged in violent crimes or showed no signs of being saved. These men would have been denied a proper burial. It is said that after Jesus’s death, he was placed in a tomb from which he was resurrected before returning to Heaven. If history was to be believed, he would have never even been placed in a tomb because crucified men were not permitted honorable burials.
5. The Pool of Siloam
In the Book of John, many miracles performed by Jesus are described. In chapter nine, Jesus meets a blind man, who he heals by spitting into the dirt and using the mud to cover his eyes. He then tells the man to go to the Pool of Siloam and rinse the mud off then go home. The man does so and his vision is restored fully. For centuries, non-believers and believers alike were puzzled by there being no known location where the Pool of Siloam could have once been.
4. James, Brother of Jesus
For five years, a forgery trial rocked the archaeological community. In 2002, archaeologists uncovered a burial box, also known as an ossuary, that bore the inscription, “James, son of Joseph, brother of Jesus”. An uproar raced across the Christian community. Had they discovered the bones of Jesus Christ’s martyred brother? The answer is a bit unsatisfying: they do not know. The authenticity of the inscription has been called into question several times, culminating in a forgery trial in which the dealer who had possession of the box was found not guilty of forgery.
3. A Merciful King
The books of Ezra and 2 Corinthians speak of Cyrus the Great of Persia conquering Babylon in a massive military movement then allowing the exiled Jews to regain entry into Israel in a sudden act of kindness that was completely out of character for a ruler at the time. Many claim that the Old Testament story was nothing more than a work of fiction, as no proof of Cyrus’s odd change of heart existed in any story or piece of literature aside from the Bible itself.
2. The FirstApocalypse of James
Jesus’s siblings are not mentioned very often in the Bible. He had a handful of brothers and several sisters; the one we know the most about is James. Historians debate whether James and the other siblings were truly Jesus’s direct relatives or if they were cousins; either way, when a text surrounding the life of James turned up in a pile of donkey sale receipts and scrap papers, many heads were turned. The paper was dubbed as heretical by the Church due to it describing James’s struggles in casting off the temptations of the secular world. Demon like creatures called Archons plagued him, causing him to doubt the teachings of Christ and have to fight to not give in to the worldly desires around him.

10. GreenGlassSpearhead
Students from the University of Western Australia got a powerful reminder of their country’s
history during a trip to Rottnest Island, offshore from Perth, when they spotted a striking
spearhead fashioned from green glass. Strange thing is, green glass isn’t local to Australia. So
how did it get there?? The answer lies in the island’s troubled history, it’s not the prettiest story.
9. SharkToothWeapons
In 2012 experts got a surprise when researching the ecology of the Gilbert Islands. They’re located in the Central PacificOcean and the local craft involved making weapons using sharks’ teeth. The islanders would start with a buttress made of wood, which they would then attach the ultra sharp teeth to using cords made from coconut leaves.
8. Dirty HarrySlingshot
It seems you didn’t need the power of Dirty Harry’s .44 Magnum to stop an aggressor back in A.D.140. That’s if an archaeological site in Scotland is anything to go by! In 2017 experts began finding ancient Roman at a field in Burnswark, near Edinburgh. The area would have witnessed the Roman Army building Hadrian’s Wall and pushing back the natives as they went. This naturally led to some pretty nasty confrontations.
7. Mata’a of Easter Island
Up until a couple of years ago it was believed the Rapa Nui people of Easter Island in the southeastern Pacific Ocean died because of conflict. They apparently used up all their resources and turned on each other, leading to their demise. This was based on what appeared to be weaponry called ‘mata’a’, made from obsidian, or volcanic glass, found across the length and breadth of the area.
6. The Rain of Genghis KhanIt’s generally accepted that Genghis Khan the Mongol ruler was one dude you didn’t want to mess with. We certainly wouldn’t argue with him anyway! The founding of the Mongol Empire was one of the most effective examples of military might the world has ever seen.
5. Tomb Triggers of Emperor Qin Huang
The resting place of Qin (pronounced Chin) Huangdi, or China’s First Emperor as he was better known, captured the imaginations of both archaeologists and everyone else when his mausoleum was discovered in the 1970s. That distinctive image of 8,000 - count ‘em, 8,000! - Terracotta Warriors was truly a sight to behold.
4. VikingKnock-offSwords
Old Viking swords can be found in various museums and collections around the world. They certainly look the part but around a decade ago people began noticing something strange about some of the blades. Turns out they were counterfeit! But you want to know the really strange thing? They’re still original Viking swords. Confused? You should be…
3. Megalithic Crystal Weapons
When exploring tombs from the Megalithic era in Spain, archaeologists unearthed a truly astonishing discovery… 5,000 year old weapons fashioned from rock crystal! These were hidden inside chambers made of slate slabs, that gave them clues about the elite society found entombed at the site of Valencina de la Concepción.
2. Pepola Dhung Discovery
There’s a long history across the globe of archaeological finds interfering with building and construction projects. Uncovering an ancient skull or rusty sword when you’re trying to bring a multi million dollar project in on time isn’t the most convenient thing, but it can shine a light on history and is worth stopping work for!
1. Mountain Sword
Climate change is generally a bad thing for the planet but it does have unexpected side effects. In terms of archaeology, the melting of snow and ice can reveal stuff from thousands of years ago that people had never thought possible. Just such a thing was found last year up a mountain in Norway by a reindeer hunter.

10 Mysterious Ancient Roman Archaeological Finds

From treasures you can’t imagine to bejeweled human remains, here are 10 of the greatest and most mysterious archaeological finds ever made in Ancient Rome.

From treasures you can’t imagine to bejeweled human remains, here are 10 of the greatest and most mysterious archaeological finds ever made in Ancient Rome.
10 “MiniPompeii” Metro
During the 2007 construction of the Line C Metro in Rome, workers accidentally uncovered one of the most incredible archaeological finds of all time: a partially intact ancient home. Archaeologist GilbertoPagani was absolutely blown away by the house, which was found roughly 40 feet underground, he dubbed it the “mini pompeii” due to its preservation method. The home caught on fire some 1800 years ago, causing the ceiling to collapse. The falling ceiling sealed the home, preserving everything inside, giving us a glimpse of everyday second century Roman life. Complete with incredible mosaics and marble floors, Pagani’s crew even discovered a large dog’s skeleton inside, well preserved in the rubble, and many intact structural beams. The find has actually since been used to create more accurate models of Roman homes and structures, giving us an even clearer picture of ancestral Roman life. Whats really incredible is that the home will be carefully removed for preservation and restoration, and then put back to be used as part of the metro station, it will certainly be one the most beautiful and historical metro stops in the world.
9 Ara Pacis
The Ara Pacis is a monument in Rome built to commemorate the peaceful and successful reign of Augustus, the first true Emperor of the Roman Republic. Rediscovered in 1568, when the first fragments of the great monument emerged, the Ara Pacis was not restored until much later in the 1930s when Benito Mussolini ordered the project to begin. The monument was made entirely of hand carved marble and depicted the lineage of Augustus’ family alongside scenes of mythology. Inside of the construction was a sacrificial altar where blood sacrifices and burnt offerings were sent to the gods. The fragments have been kept in museum safekeeping since then with a highly controversial architectural piece done by the firm of Richard Meier taking the place of the original monument.
8 A Mosaic in England
During a 2015 dig in Boxford, England, a stunning, massive mosaic was uncovered amid rubble. Depicting numerous scenes, including Hercules during his trials and Bellerophon fighting a Chimera, the obviously Roman work was thought to be a hoax due to its odd location until testing revealed it to be over one thousand years old and of certain Roman creation. Rome invaded Britain in 43 AD, so the piece was likely commissioned during that time and eventually lost. Incredibly, the work survived over ten centuries buried in Boxford, unnoticed and undisturbed, a testament to the Roman influence spread around the globe.
7 Corinth
In the time before planes, controlling seaports meant having power and prosperity. These good tides also brought attention from the rest of the world, putting nations at greater risk of invasions. Corinth, a Greek city, held two seaports, making it a highly sought after landmass. It was leveled in a hostile Roman takeover in 146 BCE and rebuilt with as part of the Roman Empire. In 44 BCE, Caesar reclaimed the ports as Greek property, which has remained Corinth ever since. Over time, the port of Lechaion became weighted down and crumbled into the sea, at which point it was presumed lost forever. Recently, though, a dive team discovered the sunken remains of the land and were shocked to find that the architecture and advancements of the area were not Greek, but instead Roman. The Greeks retained the Roman work, allowing the innovations of the empire to spread as visitors came to do business with the Greeks.
6 CopperFactory
In 2008, researchers discovered an entire factory’s remmanents buried beneath the dust. Dated to around the sixth century, this factory was used to smelt copper, one of Rome’s most important resources for coin making, architecture, and the historically incredible Roman plumbing system and aqueducts. Romans would melt down ores and pour the metal into specialized molds to create pipes, individual coins, and other pieces. The craftsmen of such work would toil in extremely hot environments and had to be extremely cautious in their work to prevent serious burns from the molten metal and hot tools. Many aspects of their smelting process was recovered within this excavation, giving us a little more insight in the system the Romans used which was ahead of its time .

9. Skeleton in the Driveway
A man named BertieCurrie was doing some work on his land where he owned a bar in Northern Ireland. He was trying to make a driveway, but instead found himself looking at some human bones. He called the police, and they were able to determine that luckily, he wasn't sitting on a murder scene because the bones were much older.
8. PictishAnvil
The Pictish people were a “lost people” that we know very little about. They were called the Picti, or Painted people by the Romans and they were a confederation of tribes located in Northern Scotland.
In 2016, archaeologists found an unusual artifact on the island of Rousay: an anvil that is believed to be 1,500 years old.
7. OtziThe Iceman
In 1991, two German hikers were climbing through the Alps when they came across a frozen body. At first, they thought it was the body of a hiker, like them, who had gotten trapped in the snow and so they called the police. It turns out the body was over 5,000 years old. This makes him older than the pyramids of Egypt and Stonehenge! Nicknamed Otzi, the mummy of this ancient man is actually Europe’s oldest naturally formed mummy (as he was not embalmed by human hands).
6. Mega Stonehenge
The mystery of Stonehenge (both in terms of construction and its true purpose) is something that has puzzled scientists, researchers, archaeologists, and people in general, for centuries. But what some don't realize, is that just two miles away from Stonehenge is another structure that is even bigger, and even more puzzling in some ways. Its name...is Mega Stonehenge, or Superhenge, whichever you prefer!
5. Horses and Chariot
There are a lot of ancient weapons and vehicles that have been found during archaeological digs. But in Bulgaria, they found something they didn't expect, an extremely well-preserved carriage and its two horses. But the strangest thing was that they were found buried in an upright position. Pillows of some kind were even placed under the horses heads to keep them propped up.
4. Prehistoric CultComplexCults may be something you would associate with the modern world, but they have been around for awhile!, At least as far as the Stone Age! This came via a discovery in Bulgaria, where a team of archaeologists found a prehistoric complex on the island in Durankulak Lake. The complex or city was completely made out of stone, and one of the buildings dated back to 5500 BC, which would make it the oldest prehistoric stone building in Europe!!
3. Britain's "Pompeii"
During an archaeological dig in Cambridgeshire in Great Britain, a rather large wheel was found. It was traced back to the Bronze Age, which was impressive given the size of the wheel and the fact that it was made entirely out of planks made of oak.
2. Gobekli Tepe
Gobekli Tepe is an archaeological site in Turkey that has changed the way we see the rise of civilizations. While the debate about Turkey being in Europe or not is still going on, as an archaeological site, many of the archaeologists are from Germany, Belgium, and the countless universities and the significance of this place applies to everyone.
1. Knossos Was Big!!
At one time, Knossos on the Greek island of Crete, was an important part of the Greek economic structure, and during the Bronze Age, it was a huge trading center. You remember Knossos and the legendary King Minos. And, of course it was also home to the legendary labyrinth that spawned the legend of the Minotaur.

9. Egypt’s Most Influential PharaohLast year, in 2017, National Geographic reported that archaeologists from Egypt and Germany had discovered a huge eight-metre statue submerged in ground water in Cairo. The statue at first was believed to depict Pharaoh Ramses II, who ruled Egypt over 3,000 years ago and was one of the country’s most powerful leaders.
8. EliteTombs in LuxorThe discovery of two ancient tombs in the southern city of Luxor surprised the world and brought new buzz to Egypt in 2017. Located in the the Draa Abul Naga necropolis, this area is famous for its temples and burial grounds. It is close to the Valley of the Kings where many of ancient Egypt's pharaohs were buried.
7. A NubianKing
In 2008, the remains of a mysterious 2,600-year-old statue were discovered in a temple at Dangeil, along the Nile River in Sudan.
However, archeologists found only parts of the statue, which meant they could not identify who it was until years later. The temple where the remains were found are believed to have once been dedicated to the Egyptian Amun.
6. The Ankhesenpepi Pyramid
Archaeologists have discovered the first evidence of a long-lost satellite pyramid for the ancient Egyptian QueenAnkhesenpepi II. She was considered the most important Egyptian queen of the 6th Dynasty around 2,350 BC. She and her sister Ankhesenpepi I were both married to Pharaoh Pepi I. While the names might seem like a huge coincidence, it is most likely that they both took on the same name when they married.
5. Remains of a Musician
In Timna, Israel, archaeologists discovered the mysterious remains of a pregnant woman from 3,200 years ago. This biblical-era site supposedly never had any female visitors and during the time of her the place was controlled by Egypt. This discovery last year challenged the historical understanding of experts.
4. The Statue of Ptah
In 2014, archaeologists discovered a pit full of ancient goodies! Among them, a statue of the Egyptian Ptah, alongside a beautiful carved cat, a sphinx, and a Baboon.
Ptah was the of craftsmen and sculptors and was worshipped in a temple at Karnak.
3. Tutankhamen’s Camping Bed
When famous archaeologist Howard Carter discovered King Tut’s tomb in 1922, he also discovered some furniture in his treasury. While this might not sound that exciting compared to everything that was found, it definitely deserves its own mention.
2. A HiddenChamber
After years of analysis and exploration, researchers believed they had uncovered every secret hidden inside the pyramid of Giza, however in 2017 a new chamber was revealed! This 4500-year-old monument and wonder of the world has much more to share. Researchers used muon detectors, the by-product of cosmic rays to reveal the unidentified chamber.
1. The Two Brothers
In 1907, the findings of two mystery mummies left researchers perplexed for decades, but now, thanks to DNA sequencing, scientist have finally solved the mystery!! The pair’s burial site was discovered in, a village 250 miles south of Cairo. They were found by Egyptian workmen directed

3. LeadBooksFound in Jordan
In 2008, 70 books--or codices--were uncovered in a remote cave in Jordan. The pages are crafted of lead and appear to be almost unreadable, bound together on rings. To an outside observer, they may not look like much, but this was a find that could change the way ancient Christianity is studied and maybe even how we perceive Jesus Christ himself. Through rigorous testing, all 70 books were determined to be genuine and date to the first century AD, making them 2,000 years old. The books reference the apostles John, Peter, and James as well as the earliest mentions of Jesus Christ--even including a portrait of him. The writings in the codices suggest that Jesus was not beginning a new religion; rather, he was continuing a thousand-year-old religion begun during the time of King David, a religion that worshipped a God who was both male and female. One of the book has seven seals, matching the description of a codex mentioned in the Book of Revelation. These are the earliest known Hebrew-Christian documents, which means they could provide valuable information for those practicing Christianity, Islam, or Judaism.
2. The Library of Ashurbanipal
It is said that this was the library which inspired Alexander the Great to build the great library of Alexandria, all of which has been lost. This library, however, sometimes called “the first library” or “the oldest library” in the world, still exists and 30,000 tablets of literature, medical texts, and more have been recovered from its shelves. The library dates to the 7th century BC and is today located in northern Iraq, near Mosul. During its time, it would have been located in the ancient city of Nineveh, the capital of Assyria in Mesopotamia. Ashurbanipal was motivated to create the library because his childhood education allowed him to learn to read and write, as he was not originally expected to take the throne. During his reign, Mesopotamia expanded to include Egypt, Babylon, Persia and Syria. For this reason, the texts included in the library are of incredible significance to understanding the history of these places. Finally, among the tablets found in the library, is one that nearly everyone is familiar with: The Epic of Gilgamesh, which is considered one of the earliest great pieces of literature.
1. Gobekli Tepe (teep)
The discovery of this temple in modern-day Turkey is an incredible archaeological find that could force scientists to rethink the timeline of human civilization as we know it. The temple has been carbon-dated to be around 11,000 years old, having been constructed around 9600 BC. Civilizations as we know them, with beginnings in Egypt and Mesopotamia, did not begin until around 3000 BC, about 5000 years ago. But this temple was clearly built with care and a ton of hard work, supposedly with the intention of making it a place of worship. The temple consists of two 10-foot pillars in its center, decorated with carvings of animals and more identifiable icons. Bones at the temple suggest there were once sacrifices here. The temple then goes outward in rings, with more pillars inside each ring. The building of this temple would have predated writing, pottery-making, metalworking, and according to previous estimates, organized worship. The mystery of the site continues as crude Neolithic tools were found, which were made of flint. But how were such tools used to carve pillars that weigh around 40-60 tons? And how did they move these pillars to the site of the temple? The questions continue, but one thing is certain: The discovery of this temple could lead to incredible answers about the evolution of society.

9 Perfectly PreservedSkeletons
In the center of the Cambridge University campus, an ancient burial site was unearthed that dates back to between 1290 and 1538. So far, diggers have found 25 perfectly intact skeletons. Other skeletons were chopped in half by 20th-century foundations being placed into the earth. Archaeologists expect to find many more remains in the area—possibly 40 or more skeletons total.
8 UntouchedRoyalPeruvian Tomb
A tomb created around 1,200 years ago has been unearthed and revealed the graves of three queens. These queens were buried alongside gold and silver riches and what seem to be human sacrifices. The area around the tomb has been looted and tampered with many times over the years, but the tomb remains completely untouched. It was protected by 30 tons of loose stones. The human sacrifices were found in sitting positions in neat rows, and the queens were buried in separate small chambers surrounded by gold trinkets and tools. More than a thousand separate items have been uncovered from the site since its discovery.
7 Noah’s ArkMosaic
In 2016, a mosaic that has imagery depicting the story of Noah’s ark was discovered inside of an ancient synagogue at the site of Huqoq (hoocoke) in Israel. The mosaic illustrates, of course, the ark, and includes pairs of lions, bears, and leopards with other animals. It even shows the story of the parting Red Sea complete with ancient Egyptian soldiers who were surrounded by overturned chariots and being attacked by giant fish.
6 JesusTombs
Israel’s antiquities authorities recently allowed reporters into its vast storerooms to show the world some of the discoveries they have made that give us some insight into what it was like to live in during the Biblical era. These two ossuaries have inscriptions that seem to spell out the word “Jesus”. Before anyone gets too excited, it’s likely not the bones of the Jesus you are thinking about, as the name was very common thousands of years ago. Scientists are still on the lookout for more evidence as to what he actually looked like.
5 MedievalWall In Parking Lot
When the University of Leicester (lesta) set out to build a new student accommodation block in early 2017, they luckily called archaeological diggers instead of construction workers. These diggers uncovered an entire medieval wall hidden underneath the parking lot and future construction site in Coventry. Experts say that the wall was more likely used for commercial purposes rather than for defense. Now, Richard Buckley who is one of the co-directors of the University of Leicester (lesta) Archaeological Services says they may move the foundations of the new building to better preserve the wall.
4 Watlington Hoard
The Watlington Hoard is now being kept at Oxford University’s Ashmolean Museum. This hoard was some bonafide, real life buried treasure and it cost Oxford University 1.35 Million pounds to purchase ownership. The story goes that Alfred the GreatKing of Wessex buried all of his treasure sometime between 871 and 899 AD to hide them from Viking raids. The hoard includes 15 ingots, 7 pieces of jewelry, a scrap of gold, and 186 including a rare penny minted with the image of Two emperors.
3 The One Ring
Some say that this ancient Roman ring currently on display in a Tudor mansion in England could have been what inspired J.R.R. Tolkien’s fantasy Lord of the Rings. Tolkien was a professor of Anglo Saxon history and could have well known about this ancient artifact. The ring was originally unearthed by a farmer and then passed on to the Tudor family for money, perhaps inspiring a ring that was passed down through history ala the Ring.
2 PompeiiArtifacts
At this point, we’re all familiar with the catastrophe of Pompeii, when a giant volcanic eruption laid waste to an entire city and created hard ash casts of everyone and everything in its past. The newest shocking specimens went on display at The British Museum, including the cast of a child in pugilist’s position as well as a carbonised baby’s cradle that looks shockingly similar to the cradles we use today.

7: Mummified Moa Remains
In 1986, a team of archeologists were investigating the insides of a large cave system underneath Mount Owen in New Zealand. With very little visibility in the vast network of tunnels, they stumbled across a bizarre object that left them wondering whether their eyes were playing tricks on them. In front of them lay a large dinosaur-like claw, with intact flesh and scaly skin. Curious, the team took it back with them for analysis. The results could not have been more astounding - the mysterious claw belonged to a 3300 year old prehistoric bird known as the upland moa. For some reason the mummified claw had been preserved so well, it appeared as if the creature had only recently died. Otherwise known by its scientific name Megalapteryx didinus, the upland moa was a large flightless bird that reached up to 12 feet in height, and weighed over 500 pounds. Moa birds were once the dominant animals in New Zealand's forest ecosystems, until the arrival of the Maori people who hunted them down to extinction. Scientists have suggested that modern day revival of the species is a viable idea, as their remains contained extractable DNA that could be introduced into chicken embryos. Interest in the subject has been going on for years, and with the advancements in biology and genetics, we may one day get to see a live running moa.
3: The AlienSkulls of Mexico
Residents of the small Mexican village of Onavas stumbled upon a shocking discovery while building an irrigation canal. What they found was an ancient burial site, referred to as El Cementerio, containing 25 skeletal remains. The most shocking part was that 13 of the skeletons had abnormally long skulls, unlike any known species on our planet. Five were found with mutilated teeth. The freakish discovery led to early speculations that the bodies were those of extraterrestrial beings, similar to the ones seen in Ridley Scott's popular Alien film series. However, researchers were quick to suggest that the skulls were the result of intentional cranial reshaping. Several ancient Central American cultures had a tradition of forcing their heads into strange shapes. This was done by placing enormous pressure on their skulls since early childhood, for example by using tightly bound cloths or wooden boards
2: The Graveyard of GiantWombats
Wombats might be seen as cute and comical animals, but you might think differently if you come across one that's rhino-sized. In 2012, scientists in Australia unveiled the largest graveyard ever found of enormous ancient mega-wombats called diprotodon. There were around 50 diprotodon remains found, estimated to have weighed an average 2.8 tons each, making them the largest known marsupials to roam the planet. One of the largest and most well preserved specimens was named "Kenny", with a massive 28-inch long jawbone. The creatures are described as pidgeon-toed, and had big kangaroo-like pouches large enough to fit an adult human. The grave is part of a larger fossil deposit in the remote outback of Australia'sQueensland state. It is described as a goldmine
1: Giant HumansGenesis chapter 6 tells us, "There were giants in the earth in those days, and afterwards". This verse refers to the Nephilim, a giant race of men who according to the bible, were perished by the Great Flood. Scriptural writings of other religions also include similar tales of giant people who once walked the Earth. Enthusiastic believers advocate that these stories are true, and in recent years many stories of archeological findings of giant men have appeared on the internet. The most famous of these was the story about a giant human skeleton uncovered in the desert during gas exploration in Saudi Arabia. Pictures were included, linked with the Islamic story of the Prophet Hud and the powerful giant tribe of Ad. Similar pictures and stories of biblical giants can be found, such as the alleged discovery of giants by archeologists in Greece. However, none of these claims have been proven, and the scientific community regards them as mere hoax stories accompanied with photo-shopped images. There are however, some real findings of ancient giants, although nowhere as dramatic as the aforementioned stories. In 1890, French anthropologist Georges Vacher de Lapouge found three bone fragments of a human leg in France. The height of the individual - popularly referred to as the "Giant of Castelnau" - is estimated to have been around 3.5 meters (11 ft 6 in). Studies showed that those bones dated back to the Neolithic period, and according to experts either represented a "very tall race" or were the result of "morbid growth."

What Archaeologist Discovered in a Peru Cave May be About To Change Everything

This could be the most important discovery of the 21st Century. Researchers have recently confirmed that they have evidence that an ancient race of aliens may have lived on Earth, this constitutes an incredible discovery. A discovery that may cause us to alter our history books forever.
Archaeologists are stunned by this latest news. A new species has been discovered. New DNA and carbon dating tests on one of several strange creatures discovered in Nazca, Peru, reveal she could be 1,800 years old and was 98.5 per cent primate - similar to humans - and 1.5% unknown.

Archaeological Finds Proving the BIBLE is TRUE

From the possible discovery of the brother of jesus, to a discovery proving the existence of a once lost race here are 6 Archaeological Finds that Prove the Bible is True
6. CrucifiedBurial
Crucifixion is the type of execution used to end the life of Jesus Christ. Typically, large nails were hammered through the hands and feet of the offender to affix them to a wooden cross. According to the Bible, Jesus had amassed a group of followers and openly declared himself the son of God. This ran afoul the beliefs of the monarchy at the time who sentenced him to death. The crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus Christ is a point of contention among believers and skeptics. One of the biggest arguments against the storied death of Jesus is that crucifixion was only reserved for the foulest repeat criminals, typically those who engaged in violent crimes or showed no signs of being saved. These men would have been denied a proper burial. It is said that after Jesus’s death, he was placed in a tomb from which he was resurrected before returning to Heaven. If history was to be believed, he would have never even been placed in a tomb because crucified men were not permitted honorable burials.
5. The Pool of Siloam
In the Book of John, many miracles performed by Jesus are described. In chapter nine, Jesus meets a blind man, who he heals by spitting into the dirt and using the mud to cover his eyes. He then tells the man to go to the Pool of Siloam and rinse the mud off then go home. The man does so and his vision is restored fully. For centuries, non-believers and believers alike were puzzled by there being no known location where the Pool of Siloam could have once been.
4. James, Brother of Jesus
For five years, a forgery trial rocked the archaeological community. In 2002, archaeologists uncovered a burial box, also known as an ossuary, that bore the inscription, “James, son of Joseph, brother of Jesus”. An uproar raced across the Christian community. Had they discovered the bones of Jesus Christ’s martyred brother? The answer is a bit unsatisfying: they do not know. The authenticity of the inscription has been called into question several times, culminating in a forgery trial in which the dealer who had possession of the box was found not guilty of forgery.
3. A Merciful King
The books of Ezra and 2 Corinthians speak of Cyrus the Great of Persia conquering Babylon in a massive military movement then allowing the exiled Jews to regain entry into Israel in a sudden act of kindness that was completely out of character for a ruler at the time. Many claim that the Old Testament story was nothing more than a work of fiction, as no proof of Cyrus’s odd change of heart existed in any story or piece of literature aside from the Bible itself.
2. The FirstApocalypse of James
Jesus’s siblings are not mentioned very often in the Bible. He had a handful of brothers and several sisters; the one we know the most about is James. Historians debate whether James and the other siblings were truly Jesus’s direct relatives or if they were cousins; either way, when a text surrounding the life of James turned up in a pile of donkey sale receipts and scrap papers, many heads were turned. The paper was dubbed as heretical by the Church due to it describing James’s struggles in casting off the temptations of the secular world. Demon like creatures called Archons plagued him, causing him to doubt the teachings of Christ and have to fight to not give in to the worldly desires around him.

10. GreenGlassSpearhead
Students from the University of Western Australia got a powerful reminder of their country’s
history during a trip to Rottnest Island, offshore from Perth, when they spotted a striking
spearhead fashioned from green glass. Strange thing is, green glass isn’t local to Australia. So
how did it get there?? The answer lies in the island’s troubled history, it’s not the prettiest story.
9. SharkToothWeapons
In 2012 experts got a surprise when researching the ecology of the Gilbert Islands. They’re located in the Central PacificOcean and the local craft involved making weapons using sharks’ teeth. The islanders would start with a buttress made of wood, which they would then attach the ultra sharp teeth to using cords made from coconut leaves.
8. Dirty HarrySlingshot
It seems you didn’t need the power of Dirty Harry’s .44 Magnum to stop an aggressor back in A.D.140. That’s if an archaeological site in Scotland is anything to go by! In 2017 experts began finding ancient Roman at a field in Burnswark, near Edinburgh. The area would have witnessed the Roman Army building Hadrian’s Wall and pushing back the natives as they went. This naturally led to some pretty nasty confrontations.
7. Mata’a of Easter Island
Up until a couple of years ago it was believed the Rapa Nui people of Easter Island in the southeastern Pacific Ocean died because of conflict. They apparently used up all their resources and turned on each other, leading to their demise. This was based on what appeared to be weaponry called ‘mata’a’, made from obsidian, or volcanic glass, found across the length and breadth of the area.
6. The Rain of Genghis KhanIt’s generally accepted that Genghis Khan the Mongol ruler was one dude you didn’t want to mess with. We certainly wouldn’t argue with him anyway! The founding of the Mongol Empire was one of the most effective examples of military might the world has ever seen.
5. Tomb Triggers of Emperor Qin Huang
The resting place of Qin (pronounced Chin) Huangdi, or China’s First Emperor as he was better known, captured the imaginations of both archaeologists and everyone else when his mausoleum was discovered in the 1970s. That distinctive image of 8,000 - count ‘em, 8,000! - Terracotta Warriors was truly a sight to behold.
4. VikingKnock-offSwords
Old Viking swords can be found in various museums and collections around the world. They certainly look the part but around a decade ago people began noticing something strange about some of the blades. Turns out they were counterfeit! But you want to know the really strange thing? They’re still original Viking swords. Confused? You should be…
3. Megalithic Crystal Weapons
When exploring tombs from the Megalithic era in Spain, archaeologists unearthed a truly astonishing discovery… 5,000 year old weapons fashioned from rock crystal! These were hidden inside chambers made of slate slabs, that gave them clues about the elite society found entombed at the site of Valencina de la Concepción.
2. Pepola Dhung Discovery
There’s a long history across the globe of archaeological finds interfering with building and construction projects. Uncovering an ancient skull or rusty sword when you’re trying to bring a multi million dollar project in on time isn’t the most convenient thing, but it can shine a light on history and is worth stopping work for!
1. Mountain Sword
Climate change is generally a bad thing for the planet but it does have unexpected side effects. In terms of archaeology, the melting of snow and ice can reveal stuff from thousands of years ago that people had never thought possible. Just such a thing was found last year up a mountain in Norway by a reindeer hunter.

10 Mysterious Ancient Roman Archaeological Finds

From treasures you can’t imagine to bejeweled human remains, here are 10 of the greatest and most mysterious archaeological finds ever made in Ancient Rome.
10 “MiniPompeii” Metro
During the 2007 construction of the Line C Metro in Rome, workers accidentally uncovered one of the most incredible archaeological finds of all time: a partially intact ancient home. Archaeologist GilbertoPagani was absolutely blown away by the house, which was found roughly 40 feet underground, he dubbed it the “mini pompeii” due to its preservation method. The home caught on fire some 1800 years ago, causing the ceiling to collapse. The falling ceiling sealed the home, preserving everything inside, giving us a glimpse of everyday second century Roman life. Complete with incredible mosaics and marble floors, Pagani’s crew even discovered a large dog’s skeleton inside, well preserved in the rubble, and many intact structural beams. The find has actually since been used to create more accurate models of Roman homes and structures, giving us an even clearer picture of ancestral Roman life. Whats really incredible is that the home will be carefully removed for preservation and restoration, and then put back to be used as part of the metro station, it will certainly be one the most beautiful and historical metro stops in the world.
9 Ara Pacis
The Ara Pacis is a monument in Rome built to commemorate the peaceful and successful reign of Augustus, the first true Emperor of the Roman Republic. Rediscovered in 1568, when the first fragments of the great monument emerged, the Ara Pacis was not restored until much later in the 1930s when Benito Mussolini ordered the project to begin. The monument was made entirely of hand carved marble and depicted the lineage of Augustus’ family alongside scenes of mythology. Inside of the construction was a sacrificial altar where blood sacrifices and burnt offerings were sent to the gods. The fragments have been kept in museum safekeeping since then with a highly controversial architectural piece done by the firm of Richard Meier taking the place of the original monument.
8 A Mosaic in England
During a 2015 dig in Boxford, England, a stunning, massive mosaic was uncovered amid rubble. Depicting numerous scenes, including Hercules during his trials and Bellerophon fighting a Chimera, the obviously Roman work was thought to be a hoax due to its odd location until testing revealed it to be over one thousand years old and of certain Roman creation. Rome invaded Britain in 43 AD, so the piece was likely commissioned during that time and eventually lost. Incredibly, the work survived over ten centuries buried in Boxford, unnoticed and undisturbed, a testament to the Roman influence spread around the globe.
7 Corinth
In the time before planes, controlling seaports meant having power and prosperity. These good tides also brought attention from the rest of the world, putting nations at greater risk of invasions. Corinth, a Greek city, held two seaports, making it a highly sought after landmass. It was leveled in a hostile Roman takeover in 146 BCE and rebuilt with as part of the Roman Empire. In 44 BCE, Caesar reclaimed the ports as Greek property, which has remained Corinth ever since. Over time, the port of Lechaion became weighted down and crumbled into the sea, at which point it was presumed lost forever. Recently, though, a dive team discovered the sunken remains of the land and were shocked to find that the architecture and advancements of the area were not Greek, but instead Roman. The Greeks retained the Roman work, allowing the innovations of the empire to spread as visitors came to do business with the Greeks.
6 CopperFactory
In 2008, researchers discovered an entire factory’s remmanents buried beneath the dust. Dated to around the sixth century, this factory was used to smelt copper, one of Rome’s most important resources for coin making, architecture, and the historically incredible Roman plumbing system and aqueducts. Romans would melt down ores and pour the metal into specialized molds to create pipes, individual coins, and other pieces. The craftsmen of such work would toil in extremely hot environments and had to be extremely cautious in their work to prevent serious burns from the molten metal and hot tools. Many aspects of their smelting process was recovered within this excavation, giving us a little more insight in the system the Romans used which was ahead of its time .

9. Skeleton in the Driveway
A man named BertieCurrie was doing some work on his land where he owned a bar in Northern Ireland. He was trying to make a driveway, but instead found himself looking at some human bones. He called the police, and they were able to determine that luckily, he wasn't sitting on a murder scene because the bones were much older.
8. PictishAnvil
The Pictish people were a “lost people” that we know very little about. They were called the Picti, or Painted people by the Romans and they were a confederation of tribes located in Northern Scotland.
In 2016, archaeologists found an unusual artifact on the island of Rousay: an anvil that is believed to be 1,500 years old.
7. OtziThe Iceman
In 1991, two German hikers were climbing through the Alps when they came across a frozen body. At first, they thought it was the body of a hiker, like them, who had gotten trapped in the snow and so they called the police. It turns out the body was over 5,000 years old. This makes him older than the pyramids of Egypt and Stonehenge! Nicknamed Otzi, the mummy of this ancient man is actually Europe’s oldest naturally formed mummy (as he was not embalmed by human hands).
6. Mega Stonehenge
The mystery of Stonehenge (both in terms of construction and its true purpose) is something that has puzzled scientists, researchers, archaeologists, and people in general, for centuries. But what some don't realize, is that just two miles away from Stonehenge is another structure that is even bigger, and even more puzzling in some ways. Its name...is Mega Stonehenge, or Superhenge, whichever you prefer!
5. Horses and Chariot
There are a lot of ancient weapons and vehicles that have been found during archaeological digs. But in Bulgaria, they found something they didn't expect, an extremely well-preserved carriage and its two horses. But the strangest thing was that they were found buried in an upright position. Pillows of some kind were even placed under the horses heads to keep them propped up.
4. Prehistoric CultComplexCults may be something you would associate with the modern world, but they have been around for awhile!, At least as far as the Stone Age! This came via a discovery in Bulgaria, where a team of archaeologists found a prehistoric complex on the island in Durankulak Lake. The complex or city was completely made out of stone, and one of the buildings dated back to 5500 BC, which would make it the oldest prehistoric stone building in Europe!!
3. Britain's "Pompeii"
During an archaeological dig in Cambridgeshire in Great Britain, a rather large wheel was found. It was traced back to the Bronze Age, which was impressive given the size of the wheel and the fact that it was made entirely out of planks made of oak.
2. Gobekli Tepe
Gobekli Tepe is an archaeological site in Turkey that has changed the way we see the rise of civilizations. While the debate about Turkey being in Europe or not is still going on, as an archaeological site, many of the archaeologists are from Germany, Belgium, and the countless universities and the significance of this place applies to everyone.
1. Knossos Was Big!!
At one time, Knossos on the Greek island of Crete, was an important part of the Greek economic structure, and during the Bronze Age, it was a huge trading center. You remember Knossos and the legendary King Minos. And, of course it was also home to the legendary labyrinth that spawned the legend of the Minotaur.

9. Egypt’s Most Influential PharaohLast year, in 2017, National Geographic reported that archaeologists from Egypt and Germany had discovered a huge eight-metre statue submerged in ground water in Cairo. The statue at first was believed to depict Pharaoh Ramses II, who ruled Egypt over 3,000 years ago and was one of the country’s most powerful leaders.
8. EliteTombs in LuxorThe discovery of two ancient tombs in the southern city of Luxor surprised the world and brought new buzz to Egypt in 2017. Located in the the Draa Abul Naga necropolis, this area is famous for its temples and burial grounds. It is close to the Valley of the Kings where many of ancient Egypt's pharaohs were buried.
7. A NubianKing
In 2008, the remains of a mysterious 2,600-year-old statue were discovered in a temple at Dangeil, along the Nile River in Sudan.
However, archeologists found only parts of the statue, which meant they could not identify who it was until years later. The temple where the remains were found are believed to have once been dedicated to the Egyptian Amun.
6. The Ankhesenpepi Pyramid
Archaeologists have discovered the first evidence of a long-lost satellite pyramid for the ancient Egyptian QueenAnkhesenpepi II. She was considered the most important Egyptian queen of the 6th Dynasty around 2,350 BC. She and her sister Ankhesenpepi I were both married to Pharaoh Pepi I. While the names might seem like a huge coincidence, it is most likely that they both took on the same name when they married.
5. Remains of a Musician
In Timna, Israel, archaeologists discovered the mysterious remains of a pregnant woman from 3,200 years ago. This biblical-era site supposedly never had any female visitors and during the time of her the place was controlled by Egypt. This discovery last year challenged the historical understanding of experts.
4. The Statue of Ptah
In 2014, archaeologists discovered a pit full of ancient goodies! Among them, a statue of the Egyptian Ptah, alongside a beautiful carved cat, a sphinx, and a Baboon.
Ptah was the of craftsmen and sculptors and was worshipped in a temple at Karnak.
3. Tutankhamen’s Camping Bed
When famous archaeologist Howard Carter discovered King Tut’s tomb in 1922, he also discovered some furniture in his treasury. While this might not sound that exciting compared to everything that was found, it definitely deserves its own mention.
2. A HiddenChamber
After years of analysis and exploration, researchers believed they had uncovered every secret hidden inside the pyramid of Giza, however in 2017 a new chamber was revealed! This 4500-year-old monument and wonder of the world has much more to share. Researchers used muon detectors, the by-product of cosmic rays to reveal the unidentified chamber.
1. The Two Brothers
In 1907, the findings of two mystery mummies left researchers perplexed for decades, but now, thanks to DNA sequencing, scientist have finally solved the mystery!! The pair’s burial site was discovered in, a village 250 miles south of Cairo. They were found by Egyptian workmen directed
